The Energy Price Guarantee, a Path Through Stormy Seas?

Upon starting office on 6 September 2022, one of the first challenges for new UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was how to tackle the current high energy prices and their knock-on impacts for the cost of living and the cost of doing business. On 8 September 2022, the new Prime Minister announced a series of measures, as part of an Energy Price Guarantee, aimed at confronting this crisis.

In this podcast, we discuss the announced Energy Price Guarantee and consider some of the broader implications going forward.
