The Energy Supply Taskforce set up by Liz Truss during her brief premiership is being scrapped as ministers abandon a plan to intervene directly in global gas markets, Sky News learns.
In mid-October, Sky News revealed that Whitehall officials were in talks with US-based companies including Cheniere and Venture Global, both of which are big players in the liquefied natural gas sector.Advertisement
Earlier this month, Mr Sunak and the US President Joe Biden unveiled the UK-US Energy Security and Affordability Partnership, an initiative that both governments said would focus on reducing dependence on Russian energy exports. Nevertheless, the decision not to press ahead with Ms Truss's plan will raise renewed questions about the country's long-term energy security.
