Summary of the front page

Power companies generating electricity from renewable and nuclear sources are to have their revenues capped in England and Wales, The Guardian reports.

The paper calls it “another screeching U-turn” adding, PM Liz Truss has previously rejected calls to cap huge profits made by firms. But the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy argues that the measure differs from a windfall tax as it applies to excess revenues – not all profits.
