LONDON, March 15 (Reuters) - British government measures
to support energy security will be announced later in March, a
budget document said on Wednesday without mention of any fresh
incentives for oil and gas or renewable energy producers.
Oil and gas producers had called for floor prices to be
applied to a windfall tax imposed last year and renewable power
companies wanted better investment incentives, but finance
minister Jeremy Hunt's spring budget included no such actions.
"In addition to the measures in the spring budget, the
government will set out further action later this month to
ensure energy security in the UK and meet our net zero
commitments," the government said in a budget document.
