Energy Supply: Manufacturing Industries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of GB Energy on UK ceramic manufacturers.
Answered by Michael Shanks
Ceramics manufacturing is an energy-intensive process, and we recognise that price shocks in recent years have left businesses and families struggling with energy bills.
In an unstable world, the only way to guarantee energy security and protect billpayers is to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
We have a sustainable, long-term plan to protect all UK billpayers. Great British Energy will be part of this plan by driving the deployment of homegrown energy to boost our energy independence. By delivering clean, secure energy, Great British Energy will help reduce our exposure to volatile international markets.
