Labour has this week announced that 190 sites across the country will benefit from additional funding for clean power to help cut their energy bills, including South Liverpool Ambulance Station in Liverpool Garston. They will be receiving £25,664 as part of a national funding programme that will see NHS sites share £74 million that will cut combined energy bills by over £30 million a year. These savings will be reinvested into providing local frontline services.
Just as every family and business across the UK has paid the price of Conservative failure on energy security, so too have our public services. Schools, hospices and the services we all rely on have been forced to waste money on sky-high energy bills over 14 years of Tory neglect. Through Great British Energy, though, Labour is taking back control of our energy system and cutting bills to our services.
Great British Energy is the first publicly-owned energy generation company in 75 years and it is at the heart of Labour’s clean energy mission. The company is owned by the British people, for the British people, and will own and invest in clean power projects right across the UK, including here in Liverpool Garston.
