Energy bill: Government plans to secure huge investment in clean energy

CHANGES to the energy market aimed to help Britain “keep the lights on” while also hitting its climate change targets will be published in a draft Bill today.

The plans are designed to secure massive investment in clean energy to prevent a looming gap in supplies as a number of power stations come to the ends of their lives.

There are fears that the reforms will lead to higher energy bills for consumers, who are already suffering from high global prices.
