Liberal Democrats have been campaigning against climate change for longer than any other political party. Despite Conservative attempts to block our green policies, Liberal Democrats have ensured this Government has been the greenest ever. Investment in renewables has more than doubled, and we’re using twice as much renewable electricity. Energy use is falling, helping to keep bills down. Competition in the energy market has never been greater, with new independent suppliers offering cheaper prices and better service.

Liberal Democrats have led the way internationally too. Ed Davey spearheaded the UK push to persuade the EU to set an ambitious target of reducing carbon emissions by at least 40% by 2030.

In the next Parliament Liberal Democrats will prioritise saving energy, with council tax discounts for insulating your home and energy efficiency help for low income families with high fuel costs. Liberal Democrats will carry on greening our electricity, getting rid of coal generation by 2025 and setting an ambitious power sector “decarbonisation” target. Liberal Democrats will grow the green economy of the future with smart investment. And Liberal Democrats will do this while keeping energy bills down.
