EEF publishes its Energy Action Plan
July 1st 2010 EEF has called on the government to
show the strong leadership necessary
to get energy policy back on track. It
believes failure to do so will
undermine confidence in the future
security and competitiveness of the
country's energy supply.
Publishing its own 'Energy Action
Plan, EEF believes that with decisive
action there is still time to put in
place a policy framework which will
attract the estimated £200bn worth
of investment needed and safeguard
the interests of consumers.
Steve Radley, EEF Director of
Policy, says: "Government needs to
demonstrate leadership in this
critical area and we need to act fast.
The time needed to secure finance,
mobilise supply chains and deliver
infrastructure means the energy
industry will start making farreaching
and long-lasting
investment decisions within the
next couple of years. By refocusing
policy on energy security and costeffectiveness,
the government can
ensure that environmental
objectives are met without
compromising the interests of
consumers." More articles from EEF: |
