Urgent action: Ask your MP to support the Local Electricity Bill on Tuesday 30 November
We just heard that Power for People’s Local Electricity Bill is being debated in Parliament next Tuesday 30 November! Please ask your MP to attend the ‘Empowering community energy schemes’ debate and to speak in favour of the Bill.
The Energy Minister will be there and must respond. This is a great opportunity for your MP to speak on your behalf in support of the Bill. If made law the Bill will empower community energy schemes to sell their clean power to local people, boosting renewable energy and benefitting local communities across the country.
Tips on writing to your MP: 1) Use your own words 2) Be polite and to-the-point 3) Say why you think the Bill is great (e.g., more domestic renewable energy) and highlight benefits for your local community (e.g., skilled jobs) 4) Include your address so your MP knows you’re a constituent.
Suggested wording for your email:
Dear [MP’s name]
Please attend the Local Electricity Bill debate in Parliament next Tuesday 30 November.
I have just heard that the Local Electricity Bill is being debated on Tuesday. Community-owned renewable energy could support local skilled jobs and play a vital role in stopping climate change.
If made law the Bill will empower community energy schemes to sell their clean power to local people, boosting renewable energy and benefitting local communities across the country.
Please would you attend the debate and speak in support of the Local Electricity Bill. Thank you.
Yours sincerely
[your name]
[your full address]
