Islington Labour has announced plans for a pioneering ‘people’s energy company’ to take on the ‘Big Six’ energy companies to provide cheaper energy for local people. In response to the Town Hall’s energy company plans, Charlie Kiss, Green Party candidate for Islington South & Finsbury, said “offering another alternative to the big six energy suppliers is an empowering step, and could offer social and economic benefits.” As well as buying energy on the open market, Islington Green Party will be encouraging the Council to use their own energy sources and invest in alternative and renewable energy generation schemes across the borough such as solar panels on schools and council buildings, and installing more Combined Heat and Power (CHP) to provide estates with cheaper heating as well as electricity.
