Energy: Charities

Asked by Kerry McCarthyLabourDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 9 March 2026UIN 116724

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what the Government is doing to reduce non-commodity costs affecting energy bills for charities.

Answered by Martin McCluskey

Our Clean Power 2030 mission is essential to cutting electricity prices for good. By accelerating the transition to clean, homegrown electricity, we are working to shield end-users from the volatility of fossil fuel prices and to deliver reliable, affordable energy to every part of the UK economy, including the third sector. We intend to consult on further steps to support the shift to cheaper, more secure power across the economy.
