CBI responds to seventh carbon budget

Tania Kumar, CBI Energy Transition Director, said:

“Clear, consistent targets are critical for unlocking private investment and keeping the UK competitive in its energy transition. This latest announcement, on the publication of the Seventh Carbon Budget, is a reminder of just that.

“The UK has already made significant strides, supported by these frameworks, but the test now is on delivery. Continuing on this pathway will require a relentless focus on tackling the barriers to electrification, the deployment of low-carbon technologies, and infrastructure build-out. Businesses across the economy stand ready and willing to play their part.

“Only then can we fully capture the growth, jobs and energy security opportunities that the transition offers.”
