Reform government could cause Truss-style chaos, says renewables industry

Lobbyist Tara Singh says stripping projects of subsidy contracts would undermine investor confidence in UK

Britain could be beset by levels of economic chaos last seen under Liz Truss if a Reform UK government were to fulfil its promise to strip renewable energy projects of subsidy contracts, according to the industry’s chief lobbyist.

The anti-renewables policy put forward by Nigel Farage’s populist party would severely undermine investor confidence in the energy industry and across the wider UK economy, the new chief executive of RenewableUK said.
