In response to the announcement of a Brexit deal, Emma Pinchbeck, Energy UK’s chief executive said:
“It is great news that a deal has been reached between the UK and the EU – and the best outcome for the energy sector, our customers and for our Net Zero target.
“We now await further details on important issues on climate and energy, including new cross-border trading arrangements and the cooperation on carbon pricing.
“We must continue to prioritise energy issues and continue to show global leadership on decarbonisation, particularly ahead of the UK hosting the COP26 Summit in 2021.”
