UK ‘critically vulnerable’ to future energy crisis and price rises, experts warn The Energy Crisis Commission said Britain was ‘dangerously underprepared’ in 2021 and has made too little progress to protect against future shocks. @rspearecole bit.ly/4dLArvw

Our Chief Executive @adam_scorer is part of a new Energy Crisis Commission to review the impacts on households. Adam will work alongside key figures from @CAenergypolicy, @CBItweets and @EnergyUKcomms, as well as @watsonjim2 from @ucl. See in @DailyMirror. mirror.co.uk/money/energy-c…

This government was elected with a mandate to take immediate action to boost Britain's energy independence. The onshore wind ban is a symbol of how bad decisions in the last fourteen years have put up energy bills for families. Today, it ends. gov.uk/government/pub…


Jim Watson reposted

Wow, that was quick. The effective ban on onshore wind farms in England has been lifted, just a few days after Labour took power. Planning barriers cut, so "onshore wind applications will be treated in the same way as other energy development proposals" gov.uk/government/pub…

Just out: my analysis of party manifesto pledges on #energy policy. They offer different visions and a lot of well trailed pledges, but some new policies too - especially on delivery.

It’s been an enormous joy and privilege to serve as a minister over most of the last 8 years. I’m proud of all we have achieved as a government, not least being the first major economy to halve CO2 emissions. I look forward to supporting the PM from the backbenches.
