Prime minister to announce new green energy deal to protect from 'whims of dictators like Putin' The prime minister is visiting Norway to launch a new green energy deal before attending a defence summit in Estonia.
Sir Keir said the energy partnership with Norway, which has a border with Russia, would help to boost growth and protect against spikes in international energy prices like those seen when President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
"Our partnership with Norway will make the UK more energy secure, ensuring we are never again exposed to international energy price spikes and the whims of dictators like Putin.".
Sir Keir Starmer will travel to a carbon capture and storage site and meet his Norwegian counterpart Jonas Gahr Store to discuss the new Green Industrial Partnership.
"It will harness the UK's unique potential to become a world leader in carbon capture - from the North Sea to the coastal south - reigniting industrial heartlands and delivering on our plan for change," he said.
