Description:
Britain is in the middle of an energy crisis.
Ofgem has reported that the risk of customer disconnections due to a shortfall of energy will increase by 275 per cent by 2016. Demand is increasing and supply diminishing — and prices are soaring. As a country, we have failed to nurture market structures that are capable of meeting our national needs.
What can be done? Spectator Events and Liberum Capital, along with key players in the energy industry, discussed a domestic issue that was dominating the headlines.
