A new report, by researchers at investment bank Peel Hunt, questioned whether Britain's decarbonisation efforts were to blame for the country's productivity crisis.

They found a 'clear link' between falling energy capacity and weak productivity in the UK, which has 'hurt economic performance and growth in living standards'.

A decline in UK electricity supply, which began in 2006, coincided with the start of structural weakness in productivity growth, the research added.

The economists said their analysis challenges the Government's claim that there is no trade-off between Net Zero and economic growth.
