Plans to Replace the ‘Big Six’ with the ‘Big Six Thousand’
Wed, 14 January 2015
The Co-operative Party and SERA have set out their plans for Britain to develop a ‘Big Six Thousand’ of community-owned energy suppliers to challenge the dominance of the ‘Big Six’ in the energy market, providing a fairer deal for consumers and reducing their carbon footprint.
It sets out plans for the creation of a national community-owned renewable energy fund, community feed-in tariffs and renewable heat incentives as well as allowing community-owned energy groups to be able to supply energy direct to residents for the very first time.
