🚨🎙️New podcast episode out now! Expert guest Uswitch Director of Regulation, Richard Neudegg, discusses how the UK energy market is rapidly evolving ⚡️ 🔗 Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/2N0c... 🔗 YouTube youtu.be/BUjRJaILYlY @ukerc.bsky.social @edrc-uk.bsky.social

Listen to @janrosenow.bsky.social on @lbc.co.uk talking about the drivers of high energy prices. In the clip, Jan references UKERC's new Review of Energy Policy, which shows gas wholesale prices are the main driver of high energy prices. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRwF...

📈 UK households have seen electricity bills rise £169 since 2021 – 2/3 of that due to volatile wholesale gas prices, says new @ukerc.bsky.social analysis. More renewables & fixed-price contracts could cut reliance on gas and stabilise bills. #EnergyPolicy #UKEnergy⚡

Today's Energy News: Government extends Warm Home Discount for five years to 2030 EU wants millions from UK to rejoin electricity market Scotland must learn lessons from deindustrialisation to protect energy jobs Read it all: mailchi.mp/bca24ceaa907...

66% of recent increases in UK energy bills has come from wholesale gas prices, say @ukerc.bsky.social - 17% from grid charges, 13% from extra policy costs Despite gas accounting for 1/3 of generation, its price drives cost of electricity up to 90% of the time www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

NEW ANALYSIS: UK household electricity bills have risen over the last 5 years. BUT: Despite frequent claims that net zero is to blame: 2/3 of the increase is because of high gas prices shows new @ukerc.bsky.social report. Arguably without renewable energy the UK would see even higher bills today.

Our colleague Gavin Bridge has contributed to the UKERC Annual Review of Energy Policy, co-writing the section on ‘Securing Materials for Clean Power: strategy, geopolitics and implementation’ – based on the critical minerals research that he is currently leading.
