WRITE TO YOUR MP
Latest Request
Please write to your MP, asking them to please sign EDM 2151, which calls on the Government to enable community energy projects to sell their clean energy directly to local homes and businesses.
An Early Day Motion (EDM) is a parliamentary motion that allows MPs to publicly register support by signing their name. We have worked with MPs from all major political parties to organise EDM 2151, to ensure that the Government acts on its public commitment, made in July 2025, to introduce the reform we are calling for.
You can check this list to see if your MP has already signed the EDM. If they have, please write to them thanking them for signing EDM 2151 and asking them to ‘Please write to the Energy Minister, Michael Shanks MP, asking when people and businesses will be enabled to buy community energy locally.’
Some MPs will not be able to sign the EDM, if your MP replies saying that they are unable to or don’t sign EDMs then please ask them if they support it in principle.
