Renewables companies warn UK revenue cap could deter investment

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The UK government is drawing up plans for a temporary revenue cap, similar to one already outlined by the European Union as part of efforts to lower wholesale energy prices, which closely track those of gas and have surged since Russia's full-blown invasion of Ukraine.
47% : Renewable energy companies will tell UK ministers this week that a planned cap on the revenues they generate from sky-high wholesale power prices must not be more punitive than a similar EU policy -- or they risk an investment exodus to Europe.
44% : Renewable energy companies warn that a UK revenue cap must not be set so low that it stifles investment in low-carbon technologies such as wind and solar, which will be needed to reach the country's 2050 net zero emissions target.
