We’re campaigning to make cheaper energy a national priority. Britain has the highest industrial energy costs in the world and the second highest household energy bills in Europe.
These prices are making families struggle and killing British businesses, and on top of that they’re undermining Britain’s climate goals.
Britain’s electricity is now very clean, with only around 10% of our carbon emissions coming from generating it. But the fact that this clean electricity is too expensive is putting people off switching to electric vehicles and heat pumps.
The focus needs to be shifted from clean energy (because it’s already comparatively very clean) to cheap energy.
For the cost of living, economic growth and the environment. Cheap energy should be Ed Miliband’s priority number one.
We’ve got a plan to make energy affordable. Read it and add your name to our petition.
What will electricity cost?
If Britain's plan to tackle climate change is electrifying, then we better shape up.
Electricity demand fell by 22% per capita between 2000 and 2019.
Only in Yemen, Zimbabwe, Jamaica, Tajikistan and Syria did electricity demand drop by more.
