OVO responds to energy security plans

OVO’s CEO Raman Bhatia’s response to the announcement from Secretary of State Grant Shapps.

To be attributed to Raman Bhatia, CEO of OVO:

“The UK needs bold action if we are to avoid a repeat of this winter and tackle the climate crisis. Whilst we welcome expanding support for energy efficiency, the scale of the challenge needs to be met with much more ambition. The Government has rightly recognised that the electrification of heat is the answer to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, but we need much more investment to incentivise households to make the switch to both electric heating and cars. We need to bring every home with us if we are to reach net zero, pulling every economic lever we have and making it pay to go green.”
