Thank you for contacting me about the Energy Bill.
As energy prices have hit unprecedented levels, Driven
by Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the Government acted swiftly this winter
to help families and businesses across the country, covering around half a
typical household’s energy bill and around half of wholesale energy costs for
some businesses. The Government has also recently published 'Powering Up
Britain’ which brings together our Energy Security Plan and Net Zero Growth
Plan to set out how it will transform our energy system, achieve net zero
by 2050 and boost economic growth. It sets out a pathway to greater energy
independence through the deployment of low carbon technologies.
The Government’s landmark Energy Bill is essential to
this transformation. The aim of the Bill is to help increase the resilience and
reliability of energy systems across the UK, support the delivery of the UK’s
climate change commitments and reform the UK’s energy system while minimising
costs to consumers and protecting them from unfair pricing. To enable this, the
Bill is structured around three key pillars: liberating investment in clean
technologies, reforming the UK’s energy system so it is fit for the future, and
maintain the safety, security and resilience of the UK’s energy system
I would like to assure you that getting to net zero is
a top priority for the UK, especially given that this will reduce dependency on
Russian energy. I am confident that the UK will continue to invest in renewable
technologies and methods of reducing house carbon dioxide emissions to increase
energy efficiency.
Thank you once again for taking the time to contact
me.
