Lisa Nandy MP, Labour's Shadow Energy & Climate Change Secretary, responding to the news that a government subsidy scheme for energy companies - ‘the capacity market’ - will put up to £38 on the average household energy bill, said:

“The Tories are trying to bury this bad news. Every family’s energy bill is to shoot up to pay for these gross new handouts to the big energy companies. The worst part is that this scheme is a massive waste of money. It has been so badly designed it isn't getting new power stations built but instead is just lining the pockets of the Big Six and investors in highly-polluting diesel generators.”
