Priti slams Labour over 'obsession' with pylons
Daily Express
|October 02, 2025
DAME Priti Patel has criticised the Labour Government's "obsession" with installing pylons.
About 500 new towers are planned as part of the 112-mile Norwich to Tilbury "great grid upgrade" in the East of England.
Shadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti slammed Labour for not "pursuing alternatives", claiming delays could see consumers facing £2.8billion of costs a year.
The senior Tory said: "The Labour Government's obsession with imposing pylons on the East of England was flawed from the start.
"We've been warning that they will fall behind schedule and that's before any legal challenges are considered.
"Instead of pursuing alternatives to the pylons, Labour's net-zero obsession will now hit bill payers with nearly £3billion of extra costs each year because the infrastructure will not be built in time.
"Labour should apologise to bill payers and communities across the East of England.
