Concern over energy security in the UK

Almost nine in 10 (87%) businesses are concerned by the UK’s energy security, according to a new survey. Published on 3 November, the CBI’s Taking the Long View report said that the figure was even higher among manufacturers (92%), and that despite increased investment in the grid over recent years there was “a very real perception that we are experiencing an energy crisis”.

The vast majority of businesses (94%) were also concerned about the future cost of energy supply. The CBI called on the government to implement all elements of its Electricity Market Reform package and to ensure that energy efficiency was treated as an infrastructure priority.
