All energy providing and distribution firms are to be sold of to energy companies or made independent of the government. They are to run on a for-profit basis, and will provide the nations power. All energy firms will be unregulated to encourage economic activity. 2.

The government will no longer nationalise businesses that fail or go bankrupt, but will instead provide them with funding on a case-by-case basis.
