The UK is facing an energy crisis. With rising prices, tough carbon reduction targets, efforts to secure energy supply and mounting political uncertainty ahead of the next election, energy has become a critical issue for government, businesses and civil society.
The Guardian has teamed up with partners in the energy sector to lead 'The Big Energy Debate'. We'll be engaging with industry, policy makers and academics – and you. Over the coming months this page will serve as a hub for news, views and debate on the future of energy in the UK. Use the hashtag #bigenergydebate to join the discussion.
The big energy debate is funded by Siemens, National Grid, The Crown Estate, Institution of Engineering and Technology, ENA, NIA and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. All content is editorially independent except pieces labelled "advertisement feature".
