In a normal week, the Future Homes Standard launch would be a huge announcement in and of itself. This is a Lab Gov ensuring future housing stock come with solar panels and heat pumps as standard, helping tackle energy bills and bolstering our national energy security. 🧵

Having campaigned on the need for much stronger rules for solar and green tech in new homes, it’s great to see them included in the future homes standards ☀️ Lowering bills and cutting our reliance on polluting oil and gas, now that’s what I call a win win ✅

The UK is getting its first nacelle and hub factory in Scotland! This announcement means we're building out our offshore wind supply chain right at home - important as we start building the turbines from the record-breaking AR7 renewable energy auction. vestas.com/en/media/compa…

This is not an energy crisis, its an oil and gas crisis. Making the case here for a future of electrification and renewables... and not forgetting nuclear!

Danish wind-turbine maker Vestas plans to invest more than €250 million ($290 million) to build a new factory in Scotland, a win for the UK government’s clean-energy agenda north of the border. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Last week we visited a flood defence scheme in Newport, where the Welsh government invested in making businesses and community spaces safer and more secure. Our @alexwchitty explains below why these investments into our climate resilience are so important 👇️

It was a real pleasure to have the @LCEF team in South Wales, visiting sustainability projects like our Radyr Hydro scheme ⚡🌊 It's a 400kW small-scale hydro station in #Cardiff, using the 3.5m drop at Radyr Weir to generate clean, renewable energy. 1/2

@AnnaMcMorrin @DeAthCardiff We were struck by the ambition of local leaders and industry working together to increase local resilience and deliver clean, homegrown energy for their communities - especially important as the need to wean ourselves off volatile fossil fuel markets becomes more acute.

"The Local Power Plan matters not only because it lowers bills and tackles climate change via clean energy projects. It matters because we trust local communities to make the decisions about their own backyards, and to protect that which they hold dear."

Our Government's Local Power Plan is the biggest expansion of community-owned energy in our country’s history. It shows we finally have a government that trusts communities to shape their own futures. Me for @LabourList 👇 labourlist.org/2026/02/the-lo…

Fantastic to celebrate the launch of the Local Power Plan with Ed Miliband MP, Mayor Sadiq Khan and Mayor Caroline Woodley together with the community energy sector. What began with a handful of pioneering communities is now a central part of Britain’s energy future. This is just the beginning ⚡️

The Local Power Plan puts the wealth offered by energy projects directly in the hands of communities, generating income for local people for decades to come. 📺 Watch Secretary of State @Ed_Miliband's Statement on the Local Power Plan below:

Labour’s Local Power Plan is the biggest investment in community energy ever with up to £1bn for local projects. It will let communities run their own solar and wind schemes, cut bills, and invest in their neighbourhoods. ⚡️

The @coopparty firmly believe the power of collective and community ownership. This policy will leave a lasting legacy of community owned energy across the country. Something we can be proud of.
Co-operative Party@CoopParty

Today’s Local Power Plan announcement is the biggest investment in community-owned energy in British history. Our members have fought for years to put power and profit in community hands. Now that work will shape the future of energy ownership in the UK.⚡️
