<p>埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）领导的能源机构员工持有负责为英国实现净零排放进行电网改造的公司的股份，这引发了潜在 “利益冲突” 的担忧。</p>
<p>国家能源系统运营商（Neso）于 2024 年 10 月从国家电网分离出来，负责代表用户监督电力运营商。</p>
<p>然而，在交易达成后，员工被给予六个月的时间以折扣价购买国家电网的股份，该公司在伦敦证券交易所上市，每年产生数十亿英镑的利润。</p>
<p>这意味着 Neso 的一些员工，作为一个独立的非营利组织，在监督国家电网的运营和未来投资时，可能会从中获得经济利益。</p>
<p>这引发了对 Neso 潜在利益冲突的担忧，因为这样的决策可能会提升国家电网的收入，从而提高其股价。</p>
<p>改革英国（Reform UK）能源发言人理查德·泰斯（Richard Tice）表示，Neso 员工在其监管的公司中拥有经济利益是不正确的。</p>
<p>他说：“Neso 监管机构的员工可能会因为对其监管的实体采取更宽松的态度而获得经济奖励。他们曾称之为利益冲突。</p>
<p>“改革政府将会取消 Neso 的净零义务，并强制重置其目标，专注于安全、充足、可靠和廉价的电力。”</p>
<p>国家电网的市值为 570 亿英镑，对于米利班德（Mr Miliband）实现 95% 电力来自风能和太阳能等清洁能源的目标至关重要。这是因为它负责建设传输绿色电力所需的电缆和电塔。</p>
<p>Neso 确认员工被允许保留其在国家电网的股份，但强调这些股份将受到 Neso 股份拥有政策下的申报程序的约束。</p>
<p>他们拒绝透露其 2000 名员工中有多少人仍持有国家电网的股份。</p>
<p>能源分析师凯瑟琳·波特（Kathryn Porter）敦促 Neso 公开：“员工持有这些股份是完全不合适的。应该出售这些股份，并对因强制出售而产生的任何损失进行补偿。</p>
<p>“这个职位是完全无法维持的。公开股份拥有问题的程度，并启动撤资程序。”</p>
<p>过去 12 个月，国家电网的股份上涨超过 20%，投资者对该公司的支持不断增强，原因是对可再生能源的需求增加。</p>
<p>国家电网是负责英国传输系统的三大垄断公司中最大的一家，另外两家是苏格兰电力（Scottish Power）和 SSE。</p>
<p>这三家公司现在都被要求在新的电力基础设施上花费数百亿英镑，以帮助实现净零目标，旨在减少国家对天然气等化石燃料的依赖。</p>
<h2>‘非常严格’ 的股份拥有政策</h2>
<p>国家电网，特别是，正准备启动一项 900 亿英镑的扩展计划，通过升级国家的高压电力线路、变电站和其他传输基础设施。</p>
<p>Neso 于去年被工党政府以 6.3 亿英镑收购，以消除与国家电网的任何潜在利益冲突。</p>
<p>然而，对于员工来说，转到 Neso 意味着他们失去了以折扣价购买国家电网股份的机会，这是一项备受重视的福利。</p>
<p>随后达成了一项妥协，允许转到 Neso 的员工在接下来的六个月内保留购买股份的权利——这一计划于去年 3 月结束。</p>
<p>他们还被允许保留已经持有的股份。</p>
<p>从国家电网转到 Neso 的领导团队成员被要求出售所有股份，但通过丰厚的长期奖金计划获得了补偿。</p>
<p>Neso 首席执行官芬坦·斯莱（Fintan Slye）的年薪为 288,000 英镑，奖金为 275,400 英镑，加上其他福利，总薪酬达到 774,000 英镑。</p>
<p>Neso 发言人表示：“虽然少数 Neso 员工保留了在国家电网的少量股份，但他们受到非常严格的能源股份拥有政策规则的约束，这些规则由法律支持，要求在他们想要出售时获得许可，以确保最高标准的正当性和道德。”</p>
<p>Neso 作为一个由能源部长控制的私营公司，因此不受英国公司治理准则或管理公共公司的韦茨原则的约束。</p>
<p>这意味着其董事不受公众监督或年度重新选举的约束，其员工也不是公务员——尽管他们被期望遵循政府的行为规范。</p>
<p>国家电网发言人确认，曾向 Neso 员工提供以 20% 折扣的股份，但该计划现已关闭。</p>
<p>他们补充道：“如果员工因伤病、残疾、裁员或像 Neso 这样的业务出售而离职，他们可以行使其股份储蓄（SAYE）选项。这必须在他们停止工作后的六个月内完成。</p>
<p>“任何持有国家电网股份的 Neso 同事都受到非常严格的能源股份拥有政策规则的约束，这些规则由法律支持。”</p>

<p>埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）领导的能源机构 Neso 的员工持有国家电网（National Grid）的股份，这引发了对潜在利益冲突的担忧。Neso 负责监管电力运营商，并在从国家电网分拆后被允许保留股份。批评者认为，这可能导致监管决策的偏见。Neso 的领导团队必须出售他们的股份，但却获得了奖金。这一情况引发了对透明度的呼吁，并要求 Neso 员工剥离其持股。国家电网正在进行 900 亿英镑的扩张，以增强英国的电力基础设施，以实现净零目标</p>
