Responding to the statement, David Smith, Chief Executive of Energy Networks Association which represents the UK and Ireland’s energy networks businesses, said:
“In the six months since the Prime Minister's 10 Point Plan for climate action was announced, the UK has already achieved important milestones in electric vehicles sales and renewable generation. The energy networks' 10 point plan has shown how we are at the heart of delivering Net Zero, providing the foundational infrastructure for low-carbon transport, power and heating. There’s not a moment to lose and we now need policy and regulation that allows long-term investment to take place, delivering the Net Zero future the public need.”
