Yesterday's introduction of the Energy Independence Bill was a key turning point for the UK, marking a huge step towards getting off the rollercoaster of volatile fossil fuel pricing.

[Paul McNamee @paul_mcnamee_]

Two great additions to our board with amazing credentials.

Looking forward to working with Kerry and Shaun as LCEF continues to grow.

[Megan Corton Scott @mcortonscott]

Absolutely thrilled to have Imogen on board at LCEF, taking over our climate and energy work and no doubt elevating it to new heights.

Welcome ! ⭐

We're delighted to announce Imogen Shaw is joining LCEF today as our Climate and Energy Programme Manager, focusing on the energy transition, including jobs, decarbonisation and energy security!

[Labour Climate and Environment Forum @LCEF_UK]

It's been a very busy week for this government's energy and climate agenda!

We caught up with Energy Consumers Minister @martinmccluskey yesterday for his top 5 announcements that will benefit billpayers ⚡👇

Responses from the LCEF team to today's announcements from Ed Miliband at the National Growth Debate. @paul_mcnamee_

[Megan Corton Scott @mcortonscott]

A joy to be in Scotland last week and chat to Martin (and others!) about securing the clean energy future that bill-payers desperately need. 👇👇

[Labour Climate and Environment Forum @LCEF_UK]

Last week in Scotland, LCEF caught up with Energy Consumers Minister @martinmccluskey on how this government is bringing down bills *and* working on Britain's energy security.

Today's announcements cement this government's commitment to our green clean energy future 👇

[Megan Corton Scott @mcortonscott]

Bumper week for energy security and clean energy !

Some big steps forward this week on the governments clean energy mission and industrial strategy - the boss has laid them out in this thread 👇

[Paul McNamee @paul_mcnamee_]

In a normal week, the Future Homes Standard launch would be a huge announcement in and of itself. This is a Lab Gov ensuring future housing stock come with solar panels and heat pumps as standard, helping tackle energy bills and bolstering our national energy security. 🧵

[Alistair Strathern MP @alistrathern]

Having campaigned on the need for much stronger rules for solar and green tech in new homes, it’s great to see them included in the future homes standards ☀️

Lowering bills and cutting our reliance on polluting oil and gas, now that’s what I call a win win ✅

[Labour Climate and Environment Forum @LCEF_UK]

The UK is getting its first nacelle and hub factory in Scotland!

This announcement means we're building out our offshore wind supply chain right at home - important as we start building the turbines from the record-breaking AR7 renewable energy auction.

[Paul McNamee @paul_mcnamee_]

This is not an energy crisis, its an oil and gas crisis.

Making the case here for a future of electrification and renewables... and not forgetting nuclear!

[Bloomberg @business]

Danish wind-turbine maker Vestas plans to invest more than €250 million ($290 million) to build a new factory in Scotland, a win for the UK government’s clean-energy agenda north of the border. https://t.co/mkbb8kXf6F

[Megan Corton Scott @mcortonscott]

BANANA mindset comes when people ever-increasingly peddle and swallow the myth that it is immigration causing the housing shortage, and that we don't actually need to build anything new at all.

Those committed to YIMBY-ism should be equally committed to dispelling this, imo!

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

Greens and Lib Dems most NIMBY voters confirmed.

Reform and Tories most BANANA.

2024 Labour voters are the only YIMBY segment by this survey.

Last week we visited a flood defence scheme in Newport, where the Welsh government invested in making businesses and community spaces safer and more secure.

Our @alexwchitty explains below why these investments into our climate resilience are so important 👇️

[Megan Corton Scott @mcortonscott]

@DeAthCardiff @lcef so lovely to meet you Dan, and thrilled to see the Radyr Hydro Scheme - such a fab project 🌊

[Dan De'Ath @DeAthCardiff]

It was a real pleasure to have the @LCEF team in South Wales, visiting
sustainability projects like our Radyr Hydro scheme ⚡🌊

It's a 400kW small-scale hydro station in #Cardiff, using the 3.5m drop at Radyr Weir to generate clean, renewable energy. 1/2

Today's Land Use Framework announcement is essential for supporting farmers and rural communities - hear our Nature and Land-use Manager @AlexMackaness explain how below 👇️

[Labour Climate and Environment Forum @LCEF_UK]

"The Local Power Plan matters not only because it lowers bills and tackles climate change via clean energy projects. It matters because we trust local communities to make the decisions about their own backyards, and to protect that which they hold dear."

[Alistair Strathern MP @alistrathern]

Great to join colleagues and community groups at the launch of Labour’s groundbreaking local power plan yesterday!

Championed for some time by @CoopParty, it’s a huge step forward for community ownership and our clean power mission⚡️🤝
