Fertilisers: Production
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of UK industrial electricity prices on the long-term viability of domestic fertiliser production, and what steps his Department is taking to reduce those costs.
Answered by Katie White
The only way to bring energy bills down sustainably is by reducing the UK’s exposure to volatile fossil fuel markets. Our mission for Clean Power by 2030 will get us off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel prices.
Government is providing relief to the fertiliser industry for policy costs on their electricity bills through the British Industry Supercharger and Energy Intensive Industries Compensation.
