UK accelerates clean energy to protect against fossil fuel price shocks

Britain will launch a package of measures on Tuesday to accelerate the growth of renewable power and reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels which have soared in cost due to the conflict in Iran, the government said.
The government said it will also announce steps to tackle the link between gas and electricity prices, a feature of the energy market that is blamed for Britain having some of the highest electricity prices in the world.
Britain’s Labour government has said it sees the energy transition as a way to fuel much-needed economic growth, and is under pressure to meet an election pledge to cut energy costs for households.
