Will we see changes to enable the local buying and selling of community energy in the Government’s upcoming Energy Independence Bill?

Thank you Baroness Young for putting this crucial question to Government Ministers during the King’s speech debates in the House of Lords.

We are watching closely for the next steps.

The King’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament on 13th May marked the start of a new parliamentary session and an opportunity for the Government to outline upcoming legislation that will be introduced into Parliament.

We welcome the announcement of an Energy Independence Bill and the Government’s emphasis on delivering more homegrown renewable energy.

This is a promising opportunity for the Government to act on its public commitment, made in July 2025 and several times since, to unlock the growth of community-led energy projects.

On 13th May, Roz Savage MP spoke up about the importance of delivering a right to local supply for community energy, championing the reform as a critical way to build a community-centred transition and provide much-needed stability for household energy bills.

In the Commons, the Lords, and at Committee…

Watch Government Ministers across Parliament deliver encouraging statements on their intention to enable people to buy their power directly from local community-run energy projects.

This change would be a vital step to unlocking the growth of community energy, so that people across the UK can benefit from lower energy bills, greater energy resilience, and a stronger sense of community belonging.
