Energy Bill announced in Queen's Speech
Thursday, 27 May 2010 09:41
Legislation is to be introduced that will improve energy efficiency in homes and businesses, will promote low carbon energy production, and will secure the UK’s energy supplies. The Bill will provide a step change in the provision of energy efficiency measures to homes and businesses, and put in place a framework to deliver a future with secure, low carbon energy supplies and fair competition in the energy markets - the latter of importance to Utility Management Consultants.

Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Chris Huhne said,

"The Queen's Speech and last week's programme of Government make clear that energy security and taking real action to tackle climate change aren't add on extras for this new Government, but are vital to our national interest."

"The Energy Bill is designed to help consumers put a stop to wasting energy in their homes through a green deal while making sure our energy system is fit for the 21st century"
