The deal the UK Government is offering against price freezes
We’re all about the Labour-Green’s proposals for an alternative model for the electricity market here. The UK Labour Party came up with something quite similar in mid-2013 which has put the cat amongst their pigeons so for the next couple of months I’m taking to Graham Shuttleworth who is the office head for the economic consultancy NERA in London, and one of the original authors of the UK Pool Rules – on which our own electricity market was based.
Last week, Graham unpacked the proposals that the UK Labour Party have made to freeze retail electricity prices, the fanfare it’s received and some of the issues it raises. This week he talks about the UK Government’s response and how they’re aiming to keep prices down without scaring off investors.
As with other podcasts, the opinions expressed in the interview are Graham's and do not necessarily represent the views of NERA Economic Consulting or any other NERA consultant. If you quote the podcast, you should attribute the reference to him personally rather than the firm.
