Single companies are confronted with higher costs, because Keir Starmer Britain tries to connect with the green schedule of the EU.
The prime minister, who is today in Brussels as part of his 'reset' five years after Brexit, wants to adjust the British emission policy to that of the European Union.
But analysts and campaigners say that the relocation will increase prices for British energy and production companies, because the price of carbon is much higher on the continent.
There are fears that it can activate even higher electricity accounts for households, as well as companies that have to buy permits to compensate for their emissions.
It will also evoke new claims that Labor is trying to turn Brexit because this can mean the return of the EU law on the statute book.
However, it is said that large industries, including steel and power generation, support Labor's plan as a way to avoid an imminent EU cabbage fabric rate.
It comes when Sir Keir is preparing to attend an 'informal meeting' with the 27 leaders of the Blok in the Belgian capital today, after he had organized the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for conversations at the Country Retreat Checkers of the Prime Minister.
He will 'explain his pitch' for an 'ambitious' new defense and security agreement, Downing Street said last night, as part of his vow of 'Brexit Working Better for the British people'.

He will 'explain his pitch' for an 'ambitious' new defense and security agreement, Downing Street said last night, as part of his vow of 'Brexit Working Better for the British people'.
But in exchange, he will be confronted with requirements for the UK to make room on fishing rights and a youth mobility scheme, and sign up for 'full dynamic coordination' with the European Carbon Regulations Act.
Conservative Peer and former Brexit negotiator Lord Frost said the mail: 'It makes no sense to join the EU Net Zero policy by assuming their emissions trading schedule.
'We not only lose control of our own rules, which will become a member of the EUs, will be even more expensive and push our costs even higher.
“We have to do everything possible to wrap the net zero madness and go our own way.”
Spokesperson for Tory Business Andrew Griffith added: “If Labor returns the UK to more EU emission instructions, they will add more costs to companies and to consumers.”
Former business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg said: 'Emission trade schemes are a means to make energy more expensive.
'They must be abolished if we want growth. Rain the EU schedule at the costs would increase the costs and lose the business community. '

After Brexit, the VK has set up its own emission trade scheme – a system that forces companies to buy permits if they pollute more than an annual limit set on greenhouse gas emissions.
Until recently, the price of a ton of carbon on the British market was only £ 35, much lower than the £ 70 in the EU.
But in the past week the British prize £ 45 has passed after it has been reported that Sir Keir wanted to coordinate the two markets.
It means that British companies have to spend more to buy the permits – and would be landed with even higher costs if the schemes are coordinated.
This could be passed on in higher electricity accounts to consumers, because energy -wooding companies have to pay for their emissions.
Analyst of Nuts policy Steve Loftus said that the price of moving to the EU scheme could be as high as £ 3.7 billion a year.
Separate research by the Tories suggests that the bill could be up to £ 2 billion for large companies in a year to buy carbon at the higher price.
Independent energy consultant Kathryn Porter, Van Watt Logic, said: 'Linking the UK and EU emission -trade schemes will make the carbon emissions more expensive.
'Making goods created by the use of fossil fuels will become more expensive, which will be very inflationary.
“It will increase the very expensive industrial electricity prices of the UK – it is no wonder that the industry leaves and jobs are lost.”
But representatives from the industry insist that large companies support Labor plan to link the two markets, and say that the independent system of the UK has been too volatile.
And they want Great -Britain next year to be exempt from the introduction by Brussels of a new rate about the import of dirty energy, known as carbon border adaptation mechanisms (CBAM).
Figures in the industry are of the opinion that this new tax will have to bear the extra costs that companies will push from a higher carbon price.
A government spokesperson said: “According to the conditions of the trade and cooperation agreement, the British government and the EU came in to consider linking our respective carbon prize controls and working on carbon prices.”
