An expert commission has been created to review the impacts of the gas crisis and pathways to net-zero.

Including representatives from Energy UK, CBI, Citizens Advice and National Energy Action the Commission will make a series of recommendations focused on ensuring that the country is better equipped to withstand possible future energy crises. It is expected to publish its findings in the autumn.

Louise Hellem (pictured), commissioner and chief economist at the CBI, said: “Assessing how policies can better protect households and businesses alike is important to bolster future energy resilience - an objective that business and government must work together to achieve. This should include prioritising catalytic green investment to build long-term energy security, improve home energy efficiency and accelerate the UK's pathway to net-zero."
