Speech by John Sauven at the launch of the Conservative Party's 'Power to the People' policy document

David Cameron today announced a new policy that would see householders receive a guaranteed premium price for any renewable electricity they generate. 

A new Conservative paper looks to adopt Greenpeace proposals designed to kick-start a local energy revolution by making the costs of installing technologies such as domestic solar power much more affordable, while ensuring householders who generate clean energy get a higher price for the electricity they feed into the grid.

Introducing David Cameron at the launch was John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK.
