We are pleased to be joined by Rt Hon Claire Coutinho MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Energy. Claire will deliver a keynote speech on the importance of delivering affordable and reliable electricity in the UK.
Britain’s expensive electricity is a major headwind for the nation, reducing the spending power of households and discouraging investment. High power prices are also hampering the adoption of heat pumps and electric vehicles, limiting the potential for ongoing emission reductions. Affordable electricity is a win-win, for the economy and the climate.
Onward’s report sets out a pathway for an electricity system that saves consumers £320bn by 2050. Backed by exclusive, detailed analysis, it puts firm power back at the heart of the UK’s electricity mix.
