No RESPite in the campaign for a LAEP forward on local energy

Last week, Ofgem published its long-awaited decision on Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESPs), setting out how energy planning will operate across Britain. While this represents a step forward, we cannot afford to pause in our push for the LAEP forward that local energy planning desperately needs.

You could say, there will be no RESPite in our campaign for better local energy planning.

But the costs involved – both upfront and long-term – raise essential fairness questions. Who will bear these costs? How can we ensure that those struggling now aren't left behind? And what role can local authorities play in delivering the just transition?
