Nottingham City Council's new leader has defended her background at Robin Hood Energy by saying she played a "key role" in closing the company down. Nottingham City Council established the energy company back in 2015 with the aim of tackling the stranglehold of the 'Big Six' energy firms.
The council's total losses on the firm are expected to cost the taxpayer £38 million. Neghat Khan, who has just been installed as the new leader of Nottingham City Council after David Mellen stepped down, was a key member of the Robin Hood Energy board. First appointed as a company director in 2016, Councillor Khan was eventually invited to chair the firm's board in 2019, taking over from Steve Battlemuch. Speaking about her record at the failed company, Councillor Khan said: "Councillor Mellen and others have said why we started Robin Hood energy - to tackle fuel poverty. The biggest challenge for us at that time was changes in regulations. Sometimes you start a business, it doesn't work.
