Prime Minister set to take decisive action on energy bills and sup

Prime Minister Liz Truss will deliver on her promise to tackle the energy crisis in her first 48 hours in government.

Today (Thursday 8 September), the Prime Minister will set out a bold plan of action to support people across the UK currently facing soaring energy bills, whilst also ramping up domestic energy supply – delivering the short and long-term solutions needed to help people’s incomes go further and boost economic growth.

The Prime Minister will outline the plan to Parliament – opening the debate on UK energy costs.

Prime Minister Liz Truss said:

“I know families and businesses across the country are worried about how they are going to make ends meet this autumn and winter.

“Putin’s war in Ukraine and weaponisation of gas supply in Europe is causing global prices to rise – and this has only made clearer that we must boost our long-term energy security and supply.

“We will take action immediately to help people and businesses with bills but also take decisive action to tackle the root cause of these problems, so that we are not in this position again.

“We will set out our plans to deliver on that promise and build a prosperous Britain for everyone.”
