Publication Date:
1 Aug 2008If the government is serious about renewables and energy efficiency, Britain doesn’t need to build major new power stations to keep the lights on, according to this report released today by independent energy experts Pöyry.

The report also concludes that a strong drive for energy efficiency and renewable energy can reduce emissions and assist energy security.
