Paragraph: 175
Establish decarbonisation as a strategic Government priority informing clear industry direction

We recommend that the Government take steps to ensure that decarbonisation, alongside energy security, is at the forefront of all energy discussions. Decarbonisation of the energy system must be established as strategic Government priority, informing clear and unambiguous direction to the industry. The British Energy Security Strategy should be revisited to provide this direction as well as reinforce the intertwined nature of decarbonisation and energy security.
