Welcoming the Government’s green paper on a Modern Industrial Strategy, Energy UK’s deputy chief executive, Dhara Vyas said:
“It’s good news to see the Government consulting on a new Industrial Strategy and we particularly welcome the inclusion of clean energy industries as one of the eight growth sectors identified in the green paper. We’ve already seen how clean energy can help create growth and employment across the country and the green paper rightly highlights Net Zero as both an economic opportunity and an ambition that will be supported by the Strategy.
“Stability and certainty are essential for businesses looking to make long-term investments and strategic decisions so they will welcome an Industrial Strategy that provides a clear direction from the government over the next decade. It’s also good to see the paper addressing the need to help businesses decarbonise and the focus on ensuring smoother trading relationships with the EU given the existing close links in the energy market.”
