Responding to today’s announcement of a new UK agreement with the European Union, Energy UK’s chief executive, Dhara Vyas said:
“Today’s announcement marks a step change in the UK’s relationship with the EU, our closest trading partner. The commitments both sides have made represent a common-sense approach to cooperation and will deliver better outcomes for the UK economy, businesses and customers. Both the UK Government and European Commission should receive credit for this – the energy industry has long called for closer collaboration on carbon pricing and electricity trading, along with trade bodies and businesses in the wider economy.
“Working together is the best way to ensure the UK and EU are investing in energy security and tackling carbon emissions quickly and at lower cost. This agreement will remove barriers to growth, lowering energy prices, and clearing the way for a shared future powered by clean energy.”
