Taxpayer facing unnecessary costs to decarbonise because of energy crisis delays

PA Wire

The Government is adding to the risk that taxpayers and consumers will face unnecessary costs in the race to decarbonise the UK’s power network by delaying a key planning document, the National Audit Office (NAO) has said.

A report said that the Government missed its October deadline to set out a first draft of a delivery plan to reach its target of decarbonising the power sector by 2035.
