Energy UK, the trade association for the GB energy industry, the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) and geo, a leading energy technology business, have announced that energy consumers with a range of additional needs can now request an ‘Accessible In-Home Energy Display’ as part of their smart metering installation from a number of leading energy suppliers.

The energy sector makes a significant contribution to our environment, the economy and to customers. We are world-leading in decarbonisation, invested £13.1B and the energy transition is delivering increased choice and innovative products to customers.

Energy UK has announced that Audrey Gallacher will become interim chief executive after the current incumbent, Lawrence Slade, steps down later this month.

Energy UK’s latest electricity switching figures - published today - reveal that 626,284 customers moved to a new supplier last month - down 1.1% on October 2018.

Responding to nationalisation plans for the energy sector in Labour’s manifesto, which was published today, Energy UK’s Director of Policy, Audrey Gallacher said:  

With the energy sector transforming to a future system that will be unrecognisable from today’s, Energy UK is recognising the efforts of individual energy companies who are not just embracing change, but leading it.

As politicians prepare to hit the campaign trail and the public to go to the polls on 12 December, Energy UK has issued its own manifesto setting out policy proposals for how the next Government can work with the sector to help meet the 2050 net-zero target at the lowest cost to consumers.
