Big energy's profits & distribution costs drive up bills. Small scale energy could cut bills by more directly connecting us to lower cost renewables. Now government must ensure access is fairly distributed so we all benefit from cheap, locally generated energy. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Great to see @luciemheath.bsky.social exposing fraud in the ECO scheme. Retrofit must build in accountability to residents and bill-saving guarantees. It should prevent, not cause, mould. @martinmccluskey.bsky.social - will remaining ECO money go to fixing damaged homes? inews.co.uk/news/lying-c...

We're calling for a public inquiry into this, and a guarantee that all homes will be fixed Future schemes must build in an energy saving guarantee to ensure it's residents who benefit from retrofit, not cowboys out to make a profit @martinmccluskey.bsky.social morningstaronline.co.uk/article/thou...

Fuel Poverty Action member Katie on BBC You and Yours bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Katie says, "The contractors were profiteering cowboys and caused havoc to my home leaving me with damage, no heating and no internet.” Demand justice for Katie and other victims actionnetwork.org/letters/dema...

🚨 BREAKING - Parliamentary report calls for Serious Fraud Office investigation on Government retrofitting. Write to the UK’s Energy Ministers today actionnetwork.org/letters/dema... Demand this Government: 1. Fix damaged homes 2. Compensate victims 3. Invest in skills and training

A real warm homes plan would mean proper accountability to residents and guaranteed bill savings. A real fuel poverty strategy would meet all of our basic needs through #EnergyForAll For real action on fuel poverty - join FPA today fuelpovertyaction.org.uk/what-you-can-do/become-a-member/

We need: 1. Funding to fix damaged homes. 2. Independent inspections before money is paid to contractors for all future retrofit work. Or as Jonathan says, “billions will be wasted, and more homes damaged, due to the lack of skilled workers and poor quality control.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Our Oil and War educational session is feeling pretty relevant right now... 🛢️ Fossil fuels keep us unsafe, impoverished and energy poor in an unstable climate. Hear more from great speakers on Fuel For Thought👇 youtu.be/lZuZglJCtF0

Today's #Budget doesn't touch the sides when it comes to fuel poverty. Our energy bills will still be higher than they were at the election, and 50% higher than in 2020. We pay £400 of our bill on average towards industry profits. It's simple: clamp down on profits, bring down our bills.

Don't miss tonight's online event! Jonathan will be speaking alongside @graceblakeley.substack.com and Sofia Basheer 🤩 They'll discuss how fossil fuel lobbyists keep energy profits & prices high, wages low, and climate action slow. @mp-fossilfree.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/events/power...

"Community energy gives people a real stake in the energy transition. Local organisations can reach households in fuel poverty far more effectively. "When people see renewables funding local services, the transition becomes owned rather than imposed." www.newstatesman.com/spotlight/su...

🚨 Only 24 hours until the Budget! As our energy bills rise, and extreme weather causes devastation around the world, oil and gas companies shouldn’t get a tax break! 😡 Tell Rachel Reeves to not turn her back on climate and communities 👇 action.greenpeace.org.uk/dont-scrap-t...

Ofgem have put up the price cap - and your bills - AGAIN today. 🥶 Labour promised a £300 energy bill saving. Instead, our bills are £700 higher than in 2020. Millions of us can't afford to turn on the heating. We need a system that recognises that energy is essential to life: #EnergyForAll

I hosted a drop-in event in Parliament with @fuelpovertyaction.bsky.social to discuss the serious concerns regarding the ECO4 scheme. I’ve heard from several people in North East Fife who’ve had deeply frustrating experiences with ECO4 and faced real challenges in securing fair compensation.

BREAKING 🚨: @zackpolanski.bsky.social has joined 250+ organisations calling on Keir Starmer to reject the controversial Rosebank oil field. Rosebank is a defining test of this government’s credibility on climate change. They must reject this disaster project.

BREAKING: A person in the richest 0.1% produces more carbon pollution in a day than someone in the bottom 50% produces all year. ​ Same pollution. Different worlds.

£4 billion profits - that's enough for each household to save £143 on their energy bills. Labour promised to bring our bills down, instead they've gone UP. Its simple: Reform Ofgem. Cut eye-watering profits. Prevent people going cold this winter. www.mirror.co.uk/money/demand...

FPA joined the large, determined rally outside DESNZ to say #StopRosebank The rally exposed how Rosebank manages to combine profiteering with high prices of fuel, destruction of the climate, and theft of resources from Palestine. No bed of roses, just money in the bank.

Stu at Labour Conference today: "fuel poverty is a political choice" 💯 Instead of keeping our bills high, Labour can do 3 things: 1⃣ Stop the gas rip off by delinking the price of cheap, renewably generated electricity from the much higher cost of gas...

SHOCKING 🤯: Oil giant Equinor is spending more than £200,000 to sponsor science classrooms in Shetland. This is a clear move to dilute concerns about further drilling in the area closest to Rosebank, just as the UK govt gets ready to make another decision on the field.
