Our future, built here: Can clean energy actually deliver security and jobs?

With two energy crises in five years, building the UK’s energy security and resilience through domestic energy is more important than ever. Successive governments have promised a green jobs bonanza from new infrastructure including electricity networks and renewables, but can these projects create well-paid jobs for British workers without pushing up prices? What is the Conservative approach to strengthening domestic energy supply chains?

Reactivating young Britain: a Conservative vision to end youth inactivity

Powering Britain’s comeback: How can we have cheap electricity?

The UK has some of the most expensive electricity in the world. If we don’t electrify, we will become more reliant on imports, global competitors will overtake us, and we will fail to see much needed economic growth. But with volatile gas setting electricity prices, and legacy levies and network costs driving up costs, how can we afford to electrify? Could bold reforms to our energy markets help lower the cost of electricity?
