Ridge Clean Energy calls for Prime Minister to reconfirm commitment to net zero

Ridge Clean Energy Ltd (RCE) was proud to join over 100 of the UK’s largest businesses in a letter to the Prime Minister calling for “a renewed focus and commitment to delivery” of net zero and the green economy.
Backed by household names including Tesco, BT, Unilever, Amazon, Centrica and M&S, the letter signed by RCE makes clear the need for “faster action” and that without the Government’s clear leadership and commitment, “the UK will be left behind”.
The companies also highlighted the economic opportunities that the net zero transition brings, agreeing that making the most of these opportunities “will generate growth and prosperity across the country” and channelling investments in this way is “the right thing to do for the future of our planet”.
As emphasised in the letter, polls show that British people “support a green future”. Support for investments into renewables is particularly overwhelming, with 77% of the public wanting the Government to “use wind and solar farms to reduce energy bills”, and 76% supporting building renewable energy projects in their local area, according to the results of Survation’s national poll last autumn.
RCE fully supports the joint call for more committed direction from the UK Government. Marjorie Neasham Glasgow, CEO, said: “It is right to come together across UK industries to highlight the need for a lower-carbon economy, not only in terms of climate repair, but also in light of the pivotal economic moment we find ourselves in. Innovation is key to economic growth and carbon reduction particularly when it comes to our energy systems. RCE are committed to developing renewable projects that directly benefit local communities. Our work supports national net zero targets and energy security targets.”
