GB Energy: We cannot be left at the mercy of Putin again 

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the government’s deal between GB Energy and the Crown Estate, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey said:

"In recent months we heard countless harrowing stories of parents having to choose between putting food on the table or keeping their children warm as the energy crisis sent their bills spiralling. 

"For far too long, the Conservative party left us at the mercy of tyrants like Putin for our energy. This can never happen again.

"It is right that the new government is taking action to help protect households by committing to clean and secure energy. Alongside this we must also see an emergency insulation programme to drive down bills and keep families warm. 

“We hope the new government will urgently implement a programme laser-focused on reducing bills and heating homes to avoid another winter of discontent”.
