Good Energy calls on new coalition to support ‘energy entrepreneurs’
10th May 2010
Juliet Davenport, CEO of Good Energy, the UK’s only dedicated 100% renewable electricity supplier, said:
“Obviously it’s been a long time since we had a coalition in this country so I think everyone is waiting with bated breath to see what unfolds in the coming weeks.
“As part of our work to meet representatives of all political parties, we’ve established positive relationships with both the Conservative and Lib Dem energy teams and we very much hope to take that forward as they go into Government. Both parties have supported Good Energy’s policies to encourage more energy entrepreneurs as well as campaigns for the fairer treatment of microgenerators and for the fact that it’s simply not right to expect renewable electricity customers to pay for carbon capture and storage. We want to see energy policy move on from the dithering and lack of ambition that characterised the previous Government’s approach and see a firm commitment from both partners to rewarding individuals’ and businesses’ efforts to prioritise and deal with climate change before it is too late.”
