Nicola Sturgeon: Scotland would still be facing energy crisis with public supplier

Nicola Sturgeon has said that the power to make a 'meaningful intervention' in the energy crisis is still reserved to Westminster

NICOLA Sturgeon has said that Scotland would still be facing the energy crisis if her government had managed to fulfill an election promise to create a nationalised energy company.

The unrealised pledge was made in October 2017 and set out the intention to create a not-for-profit energy company that would provide Scots with cheap gas and electricity.
