The UK is failing to draw the level of investment necessary to build low-carbon infrastructure that could lower the emission of flue accessories, it has been claimed.
Britain's power sector requires £150 billion of private sector investment across the upcoming 20 years, though many senior businessmen believe that the country cannot attract the money at the necessary speed, according to the CBI.
Katja Hall, chief policy director for the CBI, said: "We know the UK needs a balanced energy mix to cut emissions and grow the low-carbon economy, but the big question now is how we pay for it.
"Businesses want to get on with building new low-carbon infrastructure, but there is still too much policy uncertainty."
The government must establish a clear direction of travel and remain with it, the representative added.
Also, the CBI is urging the coalition to make the Green Deal more appealing to investors by offering a plausible financial model.
