Kwasi Kwarteng – 2021 Comments on Renewables Auction

The comments made by Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business and Energy Secretary, on 13 December 2021.

Our biggest ever renewables auction opening today will solidify the UK’s role as a world-leader in renewable electricity, while backing new, future-proof industries across the country to create new jobs.

By generating more renewable energy in the UK, we can ensure greater energy independence by moving away from volatile global fossil fuel prices, all while driving down the cost of new energy.
