Responding to the Tony Blair Institute’s report on the Government’s Clean Power 2030 plan, Energy UK’s chief executive, Dhara Vyas said:
“The energy sector is clear that clean power and electrification is the only way to bring down bills in the long term by reducing our exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets. More clean, homegrown power also means more energy security in an unstable world. It’s right that Government continues to review how best to achieve this transition and at what pace, to ensure that costs are minimised for customers. But it’s also important to consider whether inaction or delay increases future costs. Businesses investing billions of pounds in our country’s future rely on long-term stability to do so, and so it’s vital that the Government continues to provide certainty in order to achieve this much needed transformation.”
