Keir Starmer has vowed to create a state-owned energy company to help lower fuel bills if his party wins power at the next General Election.
The Labour leader said a new enterprise, Great British Energy, would boost the supply of renewable power by harnessing the country's sun, wind and waves.
He told Labour 's conference in Liverpool: "We will set up Great British Energy within the first year of a Labour government. A new company that takes advantage of the opportunities in clean British power and because it’s right for jobs, because it’s right for growth, because it’s right for energy independence from tyrants like Putin.
