Minimising cost to consumers is at the heart of our strategy to deliver a reliable and decarbonised electricity system by 2035. The best way of protecting households and businesses is by lowering the costs of the energy we consume and reducing the volumes used. This means increasing energy efficiency and building out a low-cost, low-carbon energy system which reduces our reliance on fossil fuels.</p> answering member constituency West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine answering member printed Andrew Bowie question first answered 16/10/2023 10:46:48 answering member 4601 label Biography information for Andrew Bowie
