There is a danger we could meet our net zero targets without retrofitting homes. This would be unfair - leaving the poorest with high bills and wasted energy. Our politicians must commit to home and business energy efficiency as part of our net zero journey. My latest blog

Business wants certainty, people want change, we can create jobs, we can continue to lead the world in green tech and policies but it seems the tories are willing to throw that all away. What are they doing?! news.sky.com/story/tory-bac…

Lets be clear - the Net Zero targets are not arbitary. The average lifespan of a car is about 17 years and the average boiler is replaced after 10-15 years. The targets of no new petrol cars after 2030 and no gas boilers by 2035 allow us to reach net zero by 2050.

We are really pleased to announce Severn Wye received planning permission for our carbon capture power station in Warrington a couple of weeks ago. This cutting edge technology will capture thousands of tonnes of carbon each year and turn it into biochar.

Rishi has rolled back on energy efficiency for rented properties. This is, by far the most significant announcement he made and will cost renters an average of £335/year - effecting the poorest in our society and stalling our progress to net zero. severnwye.org.uk/blog/who-reall…

A wonderful day out with some of my closest friends at Windsor Castle to receive my MBE from the Princess Royal. These things are never the result of just one persons work and I am grateful for all my wonderful colleagues who worked so hard and shared a vision for young people.

The energy price cap has gone up again. When are we going to stop putting sticking plasters over the problem and start to tackle the root causes of fuel poverty by retrofitting our homes. My latest blog Severn Wye severnwye.org.uk/blog/new-energ…

Yet again, government has missed a chance to really tackle fuel poverty rather than apply another sticking plaster. Severn Wye severnwye.org.uk/blog/new-energ…
