Alex Wolfe 
The first Labour UK Budget in 14 years, announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves last Wednesday, brought many discussions and questions to taxes, wages and how it might impact certain industries moving forward. On this episode of the Wolfe Power Club, the energy sector have their say!
We are joined by leading voices across the energy sector, Dr Jan Rosenow (Vice President and Director of Regulatory Assistance Project [RAP]), Rachel Solomon Williams (Executive Director of Aldersgate Group) and Steve Gooding (Director of the RAC Foundation) who express their thoughts on the key issues in energy, potential opportunities and what they want their perfect budgets to look like. These range from road fuel duties to addressing absent topics like North Sea oil taxes and the Warm Homes Plan.
Please stay tuned in the coming weeks where we will be speaking with our guests solely.
