The benefits are not only that it is owned locally but that it can also be supplied locally. Therefore, there are two types of beneficiaries. There are the people who run the whole thing, but then the

Could you give us an insight into what these discussions that have taken years are about and where you have got to so far?

28 Jan 2026Energy Security and Net Zero Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 394)

We are edging towards the next question and that is about simplifying the supply framework. I also think that, following the discussion, we are still in this space where we have not been quite clear about the difference between community energy and local supply. That is what we are trying to get our head round too. The
