In 2008, The Dark Knight was top of the box office, and I was a fresh-faced Energy Secretary. At that time we talked about an “energy trilemma” between security, affordability, and sustainability. But now the signs all point in the same direction - the sprint for clean power

For too long, energy projects were stuck waiting years for grid connections. Thanks to our reforms more than 700 projects have now been offered connections - delivering clean power, unlocking investment and building the energy system Britain needs. Getting on with delivery. 👇

Could a community battery cut your bills? We are already seeing the impact in Hook Norton, where a community battery is helping cut costs and make the most of locally generated energy. We want to see more of this - putting power back into the hands of local communities.

Building a more secure energy system should go hand in hand with stronger workers’ rights. That's why we're introducing a Fair Work Charter, co-designed with the trade unions. Those who power our country deserve power in their workplace too. More here👇

If we want households to benefit from clean power we need a more flexible energy system – and community batteries can help deliver it. Our proposals aim to give renters and people living in flats the chance to store cheaper renewable electricity and cut their bills 👇

Families could benefit from cheaper energy through community batteries, putting ownership of clean power in their hands & cutting bills. We’re seeking views on how they can be rolled out across the UK - helping store locally generated energy & passing on savings to households.

The net zero economy now supports 1.1m UK jobs and generates £105bn in economic value - proof that tackling climate change & growing the economy can go hand in hand. Carbon Budget 7 laid in Parliament today provides certainty to help unlock more investment and energy security.

Over a million workers are now supported by the net zero economy. Last year we broke the record for solar generation. This year we’ve already broken records for offshore wind generation. That’s what delivering on our clean power mission looks like.

Today we set out the new science-led target for the seventh Carbon Budget: ~87% emissions reduction in the period 2038-42. Delivering this through clean, homegrown energy will mean growth & investment - while protecting families & businesses from the fossil fuel rollercoaster.

When a major driver of UK economy is also the only scientifically credible way to tackle climate change. UK's net zero businesses: 📍 1.1M jobs 📍 £105BN GVA to economy 📍 96% small & medium sized local companies In Yorkshire & the Humber alone = 79,000+ jobs
