Jabs tsar leads new taskforce
A NEW energy taskforce which will buy supplies directly in a bid to reduce household bills will be led by the former vaccines tsar.
The team, headed by Madelaine McTernan, ex-director general of the UK’s Vaccine Taskforce, has begun negotiations with both domestic and international energy suppliers to try to agree longterm contracts.
It is hoped the taskforce will reduce the price suppliers charge for energy and increase the security of its supply. Her taskforce will also negotiate with renewable producers to reduce the prices they charge.
