Secure, Sustainable and Affordable - Energising a Greener, Fairer Future

Foreword

Energy has been a pivotal issue in recent years. Over the course of the last Parliament, we have seen security of supply shocks, the increasing geopolitical impact on our energy system, the continued threat of climate change and a cost-of-living crisis.

The good news is that as we embark on an exciting upgrade to our nation’s energy infrastructure, what is good for our climate, is also good for consumers and communities. 2025 marks 25 years until we need to reach our net zero target.

Net zero presents a huge opportunity for the UK and by working together, we can deliver a secure, sustainable and affordable energy market, which not only delivers for households and businesses, but creates skilled jobs and drives economic growth.

Secure:

Improving Our Energy Security Today and For The Future

The UK is increasingly reliant on imported gas and has low gas storage levels compared to our continental neighbours. As we look to add more renewables and hydrogen to our energy mix, greater gas storage capacity will be needed.

As well as helping to enhance the UK’s energy security, gas storage also provides security of price, helping to protect
consumers from large price spikes.

Making a Simpler, Fairer Retail Market

The energy crisis has demonstrated that the energy retail market requires reform.

We're calling for a series of actions to make energy more affordable and easier to understand and to ensure customers are prepared for the energy market of tomorrow.
