This autumn is a crucial time for the UK government to tackle climate change. Parliament will soon be passing legislation that will determine how our electricity is produced and regulated. Over 90% of the country's electricity is currently produced from fossil fuels. We need to see real ambition to change this. Any new strategy needs government investment and incentives. Other countries have started to benefit from this kind of political change. The UK has ample resources of wind, wave and sun. WWF-UK's 'Positive Energy' report shows how, with the right policies and investment, the UK could have a renewables-based power sector by 2030.
Despite this, investor confidence is falling, primarily because the government have made moves to cut financial support from wind and solar projects. This fails to convince companies that producing renewable electricity will be economically viable.
Because of this we keep seeing the big energy companies putting their prices up. It is no longer viable to keep switching energy providers to save money. Instead it is becoming more important to make sure your home is as efficient as possible. Plans People will soon be offering Home Energy Audits to help you determine where your home is losing energy and money and how such problems can be corrected to make your home more energy efficient. More details will be published shortly but in the meantime if you would like more information please do not hesitate to contact us.
