Years of failed energy policy are not only hitting consumers, but businesses too

Prospect has responded to the UK Government’s cut in energy bill support for non-domestic energy users.

Sue Ferns, Senior Deputy General Secretary, said:

“This announcement that support for non-domestic energy bills will be cut from April is a stark reminder that years of failed energy policy are not only hitting consumers, but businesses, charities, and our public services too.

“The best way to bring bills down for the long-term is to accelerate the rollout of homegrown, low carbon energy from renewables and nuclear. The government urgently needs to deliver a fully funded launch of Great British Nuclear and unblock the development of onshore wind and solar.”
