Text
Since the very first day that the Government in London came into office, we have engaged with them on those ideas. The Bill was front-loaded in the sense that there would be legislation, and now that has been backfilled, if you like, with detail. We continue to engage on it. Of particular interest are the community energy plans, which will give more resilience at a local community level rather than a reliance on one or two large producers and distributors of electricity. We are very keen to see what advantage there might be. We are told that resource is attached to some of those plans, and we will continue to investigate that with the Department in London to make sure that we get our fair share of whatever is developed.
