| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “It just strikes me that 4% is peanuts—” | 8 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Was it a private individual?” | 5 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Thank you all for coming in. I will get into the weeds of planning as well. First, to pick up on what Mike was asking about this network of sharing and that skills gap, I want to ask you all what your experience of GB Energy is, because the Government set up GB Energy. There is a huge commitment to community energy in …” | 75 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “It was not a private—” | 5 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Who do they have to be told by?” | 8 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Can I put that question the other way? Your to-do list—who needs to get it done? Who needs to tell these guys to do it?” | 25 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “What you are describing there is what GB Energy should be doing.” | 12 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Tanjua and Emily, if we get to the stage where community energy projects are a material consideration in planning; we define what community is and what benefit comes to my community; and I am a councillor sitting on a planning application where, if I approve this planning application, that money is going to come to my …” | 77 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “That is what I was going to come to. Eleanor, I know a community when I see one, but simply pretending that something is a community energy company does not make it a community energy company. So how do we get that definition and just guarantee it?” | 47 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Yes, good connections are a nightmare—and that is another chapter—but planning can be a nightmare as well. Would it not be easier to get community energy off the ground and off the runway if community ownership were a material consideration in planning? You have more experience than anyone on that, Emily.” | 51 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Thank you all for coming in. I will get into the weeds of planning as well.

| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “From all the answers, I get the idea that GB Energy is not taking the lessons from Lewes and replicating them in Manchester, so that Manchester does not have to reinvent the wheel again.” | 34 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Even though the local authorities have material benefits from the planning. It is difficult, but that is why we are here.” | 21 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “For example, my local authority is planning to take a 20% stake in commercial wind farms that it would be the planning authority over. There is a loop there.” | 29 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Robbie, what if that community energy project was the municipality that is dealing with the planning?” | 16 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “To get to where we want to get—getting community energy as a material consideration in planning—should things like a wholly owned community energy scheme be ahead of one that is only 4% or one that is 20%?” | 37 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Very good. That is one definition of community energy. Then you have your community energy group, which is only 4%. I would not define that as community led—” | 28 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Of course, in the civil service community, when you talk about community energy it is: what is community and what is not community.” | 23 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “Do we need different levels?” | 5 |
| 12 Nov 2025 | Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394) “I did not know that was there either.” | 8 |
