Environment secretary reportedly raised concerns that customers would face ‘undue burden’ from £10bn plan
The UK environment secretary has objected to a £10bn rescue proposal for Thames Water because it would place an “undue burden” on consumers, pushing the troubled utilities firm closer towards public ownership.
Emma Reynolds wrote to Ofwat, the regulator, on Monday to raise concerns about the plan for the UK’s biggest water company as she is worried that customers will lose out.
