Yesterday the UK Government published its British Energy Security Strategy in response to the impact that global energy supply constraints post COVID recovery and the outbreak of war in Ukraine has had on UK energy.

Less than six months since the publication of the UK’s Net Zero Strategy, this is another milepost in the UK’s energy transition policy landscape, signalling an even greater acceleration in ambition.
