David Smith, Chief Executive of Energy Networks Association, which represents the UK and Ireland’s energy networks, said:
“Today’s Budget and Spending Review is a step towards delivering government’s plans for a Net Zero future, including further efforts to decarbonise transport, boost offshore wind, and provide help for non-domestic properties to install green technologies. Backed by regulation that delivers early investment, the energy networks will continue to play a pivotal part in unlocking these benefits and delivering the smarter, more flexible energy system that homes and businesses need.”
