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."
