A new Energy Bill was announced today (10 May) as part of the Queen's Speech, to help the UK build a more secure, homegrown energy system that is both cleaner and more affordable.
This week’s Queen’s Speech should include an Energy Bill focused on securing low carbon investment and creating jobs, delivering value to energy consumers and establishing a low carbon governance framework.
Increases in offshore wind, support for carbon capture and storage (CCS) and investment in energy efficiency was promised within the Queen's speech, with net zero remaining a key priority for Boris Johnson’s government.
