Lack of transparency over green energy subsidies 'shambolic', say MPs

Government criticised for failing to keep consumers updated as overspend on renewables is forecast to push up bills

MPs have criticised ministers for their "shambolic" failure to regularly spell out the impact of government green policies on household energy bills.

The Commons public accounts committee said the government had missed its commitment to publishing annual reports on how consumer bills were affected by subsidies to support solar and wind power.
