The man with the plan?

With the UK utility sector about to embark on a drive for renewables, the man holding the lead is John Hutton, secretary of state for business, energy and reform. The current framework ensures that no company can dominate energy production, generation or supply, that consumers can switch suppliers easily and quickly to get a better deal, and that third party suppliers have equal and fair access to the market to help drive competition. It is important that the UK market enjoys the benefits of full and effective competition which must also work to the advantage of all customers, particularly those on low incomes or the disadvantaged.
