Energy policy
A public grid proposal enters the energy debate
The government’s plans focus on electricity infrastructure and costs.
ITV reported on Tuesday morning that Burnham was expected to announce Great British Grid, a publicly owned network under Great British Energy. The proposal aims to lower energy costs over the coming decade. The report describes a planned announcement, rather than an operational network or an immediate reduction in household bills.
