You can't be pro-growth and high-energy-cost at the same time.
Yet some UK businesses are paying the highest industrial electricity prices in the G7.
UK energy policy is anti-business and it's definitely anti-growth. Even with relief schemes in place, some firms here will pay 14% to 25% more for electricity than our competitors in France and Germany.
For any business that relies on energy - manufacturing, processing, heavy industry - this can mean the difference between winning a contract or losing it.
