- The British people are sick and tired of rocketing energy bills and our energy system being exposed to dictators. They want long-term solutions to cut bills for good.
- That is why the central mission of the Labour Government will be to turn the UK into a clean energy superpower.
- Our plan for clean power by 2030 will save the British people £93 billion off their energy bills, and break the UK’s vulnerability to Putin and his cronies. It will also support out drive for higher growth and rising living standards.
- From a world-leading offshore wind industry in Scotland and the East Coast, hydrogen in the North-West and Teesside, nuclear power in the South-East, and solar power in the South and Midlands, this truly national enterprise will unleash Britain’s potential with thousands of good, well-paid jobs across our country.
- This is a plan that will drive jobs, tackle the cost of living, and protect our home for future generations by tackling the climate crisis.
Labour’s world-leading proposals will:
- Cut energy bills for good, saving UK households £93 billion over the rest of this decade; or a saving of £475 per household every year until 2030.
- Make the UK energy independent, freeing the UK from being exposed to the fluctuations of the global gas market, which has been too-easily manipulated by Vladimir Putin and petrostates.
- Reindustrialise the UK, supporting the creation of over 200,000 direct jobs and up to 260,000-300,000 indirect jobs over the decade.
- Tackle the climate crisis to leave a better world for our children by making the UK the first major economy to have a zero-emission power system.
