While the energy profits levy targets oil and gas companies, the promise focuses on investing in renewable power and home insulation. The levy itself does not directly advance renewable investment or insulation programmes—it is a tax on fossil fuel profits. The connection depends on whether levy revenue is directed to renewable/insulation spending, which is not specified in the division description.
