Reports now suggest the Chancellor is preparing to hand the oil and gas industry a £6bn tax break, while slashing investment in warmer, safer homes by £6.4bn. [1/5]

Reports suggest the Chancellor is considering deep cuts to the UK’s energy-efficiency programmes to fund short-term bill reductions. That would mean cutting up to 40% from Britain’s insulation and retrofit budget, dismantling the very programmes that actually bring bills down for good. [1/3]

🚨 Reports suggest the Chancellor is preparing to divert funds from the flagship £13.2bn Warm Homes Plan in the Budget. This funding was meant to add to existing schemes not replace them. www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/energy-effic...

What have we learned about energy after a year of Trump? That doubling down on fossil fuels doesn’t deliver energy security, it drives instability. Global gas markets remain volatile, oil and gas giants grow richer, and ordinary households in the UK are left paying the price. [1/3]

Of all the gas estimated to have been in the North Sea basin, just 14% remains commercially viable according to official statistics. “We have exhausted so much of the gas from the North Sea.” @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks to #GAEvent underlining a need to tackle inequality & high energy bills.

For too long electricity prices are set by the cost of gas. “We will reform electricity markets further and stop treating electricity bills as cheque books.” @pippaheylings.bsky.social rightly highlights to #GAEvent that energy bills are too high.

Low cost energy can sometimes be delivered at the expense of nature. Baroness Coffey told #GAEvent “sometimes you have to do something for carbon, sometimes you have to do it for nature.” But as Government develops new infrastructure plans, they must be built in a nature friendly AND low cost way.

Today we’re at the #GAEvent hearing from politicians from a range of political parties. “The clean energy revolution is happening and is unstoppable,” says @katiewhitemp.bsky.social This does improve energy security, but the benefits must be felt by households through lower energy bills.

Unite the union have found that in 2024 alone, energy firms raked in profit margins up to three times the national average. At the same time, energy bills have risen 42% since 2021. [1/3]

Charities and experts have set out what success looks like, and it’s about action, not averages: 🔥Warm, safe homes treated as a public health priority 🎯A clear target to end fuel poverty by 2030 🔧A decade-long retrofit plan creating skilled green jobs [1/4]

While households brace for another winter of high bills and rising debt, the energy giants keep cashing in. ➡️Iberdrola has reported a 22.8% jump in profits from its UK energy networks. [1/4]

By 2027, the North Sea won’t produce enough gas to heat our homes. So any plan that delays home grown energy isn’t “realistic”, it’s reckless. [1/3]

⚡Energy firms have announced the rollout of half-hourly smart meter readings, promising fairer, more accurate bills and access to cheaper time-of-use tariffs. [1/3]

📢We’ve written to Ministers demanding urgent action to fix the issues in the retrofit system highlighted in the National Audit Office report. [1/4]

According to new analysis, over 85% of the UK’s economically viable gas reserves have already been burned. Even if new fields are opened, we’ll still be more than 90% reliant on imports by 2050, and drilling more won’t cut bills. [1/2]

The evidence from energy bosses to MPs paints a grim picture for the future of household bills We need clear plan from Ministers on how the costs of upgrading the grid will be shared fairly [1/3]

Today, energy bosses face MPs in Parliament, and we’ve made it clear: Britain’s energy system is unfair by design. Whether that’s: 📌Standing charges 📌Supplier failures 📌Gas-linked pricing [1/3]

Insulation and ventilation, when done properly, are among the safest and most effective ways to bring down energy bills and keep people warm But sub-standard delivery and weak oversight by the last Government has turned what should have been a national success story into a cautionary tale. [1/4]

✅Cutting VAT on energy bills could lift over 800,000 households out of the deepest fuel poverty. [1/2]

⚠️Britain heads into winter with a fragile energy system that leaves households exposed to volatile fossil fuel markets. #EnergyCrisis #EndFuelPoverty [1/3]

The Conservatives’ so-called “Cheap Power Plan” looks more like a headline than a saving On closer examination, it appears that the proposal to axe carbon pricing and ripping up renewables contracts won't cut bills immediately, but could spook investors risking higher prices later on [1/4]

New analysis shows that without Britain’s existing wind fleet, 2024 day-ahead electricity prices could have been up to 33% higher (around £24–25/MWh more) That’s real money off bills when clean power sets the price, not gas [1/3]

🚨Repealing the Climate Change Act would be a disaster for households and for our energy future Kemi Badenoch claims the Conservatives want to put “economic growth and cheap energy first”, but there is no way to deliver lower bills or energy security by keeping us hooked on gas [1/3]

📈Almost a quarter of every household energy bill doesn’t go on keeping the lights on, it goes straight into the pockets of energy companies. New analysis shows around 24% of bills are taken as profit, while millions struggle with debt and cold homes. [1/2]

📈Wholesale costs for UK natural gas are still 246% higher than in winter 2020. Even when prices dip, the swings only highlight one thing: gas is volatile and unreliable. Households are left paying the price, with Ofgem’s unit gas costs up 80% since 2020. [1/2]

🚨UK household energy debt has soared to £4.43bn. That’s more than triple pre-crisis levels Over 2 million accounts are in arrears with no repayment plan, while suppliers continue to profit. Families are being forced deeper into crisis just to keep the lights on. [1/2]

📌Standing charges hit the lowest energy users hardest, especially prepayment customers who can rack up debt even when they’re using no energy These new tariffs must be clear, accessible, and available to everyone, and they must be easy to compare against existing deals [1/2]
