MediaResponding to the latest Ofgem Energy Price Cap, Sam Richards, CEO of pro-growth campaign group Britain Remade, said:
“While a £35 increase in the Energy Price Cap may not sound like much, the cost of living remains a major concern for millions of households across the country – especially as rising inflation once again starts to bite.
“Reforming Britain’s outdated planning system is key to speeding up the time it takes to build the onshore and offshore wind farms, large-scale solar, and new nuclear plants our country desperately needs. Cutting red tape will get spades in the ground faster and make clean energy cheaper.
“But the Government risks making renewables more expensive by cramming as many projects as possible into the next renewable energy auction in order to hit its pledge of a clean grid by 2030 at all costs.”
