Powering Up Britain Launched

On Thursday 30th March the Government launched its plans to ‘scale up affordable, clean, homegrown power and build thriving green industries in Britain.’

The new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero was created in February and the manifesto for the Department, Powering Up Britain was therefore published last week. 

You can access the documents at these links below:
