Ross Easton, Director of External Affairs at Energy Networks Association, which represents the UK and Ireland’s energy networks businesses, said:
Today’s announcement from the CCC is a clear sign that despite the progress made so far, there is a long way to go before we hit Net Zero and that the focus must remain on the long term. Network companies are a central pillar to enabling Net Zero but we will need sufficient certainty and ambition around investment to meet the scale of the challenge ahead.
