Earlier this month ECA joined others in the energy industry including Energy UK, The Thermal Storage Association, and Electrify Industry in signing a joint letter to Bill Esterston MP, Chair of the Select Committee on Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ). The letter urged the committee set up an urgent Inquiry to explore exploring the opportunities and barriers to electrifying industry.
The clerk to the ESNZ Select Committee responded positively, while promising no guarantees, indicating the Committee would consider the request early in the new year. He indicated that the information provided by industry would be used as the basis of conversations with Ofgem, National Energy System Operator and the Secretary of State.
ECA is committed to working closely with policymakers to ensure that the UK's electrical workforce is equipped to meet the demands of the future and to realise the UK’s net-zero ambitions. Find out more about our activity here.
