https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-63300154?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGAGreen resources in Greater Manchester and Liverpool City Region should be used to help control soaring energy bills, the areas' mayors have said.
Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram said they want a "green industrial revolution" to allow local people be in control of their energy supply.
They said a task force would look at how wind, hydro, solar and grass could be used to power the city regions.
Mr Burnham said the ownership of renewable energy was "up for grabs".
The mayors said a regional task force would map the green energy potential of both city regions and look at how people in the North West could directly own and control those resources.
