The new Labour Government has vowed to make Britain a ‘clean energy superpower’ in a drive towards net zero.
For canny investors, however, there may be a silver lining. The stock market is sprinkled with eco-businesses. Pick the right ones and there could be some juicy rewards as Britain goes green – though remember, as with any share investment, your capital is at risk and could lose some or all of your money.

On calm days or during winter, demand for energy may outstrip supply.
