Energy UK comments on the Clean Growth Strategy

Lawrence Slade, chief executive of Energy UK said:

 “We are pleased that the Clean Growth Strategy recognises the huge progress made in decarbonisation and shares the ambitions of the industry to go further and faster to create a world-leading clean, green economy.
 
“It is positive to see the ambitious targets to improve the energy efficiency in our homes and businesses. How this will be funded is critical and we will work with Government to shape a national energy efficiency programme that will help reduce energy bills and ensure we meet the targets set out today. 
 
“We must now work in partnership to deliver this strategy. We await further details on many of these areas, including the decarbonisation of heat, and commit to working together to deliver these transformative changes which will reduce emissions, boost the economy and keep bills down for consumers.”
