Bring Down Bills: Views from across the sector

Energy bills are too high.

The ongoing cost-of-living crisis is the number one issue for people across the country. More than six million households are in fuel poverty, and energy debt is surging towards £5 billion.

The impacts of this are felt across society: constricted growth, high inflation, and damaged living standards. Businesses are struggling and bills have been too high for too long for millions of households, leading to record levels of customer debt.

Immediate and sustained action to bring down bills for people and businesses is needed now.

The good news is there are savings to be made across the entire energy system. From generation and transmission to storage and retail, the industry is already working hard to bring down bills. The significant intervention made on energy bills in the Autumn Budget shows the Government is taking the issue seriously and an expected £150 reduction in bills represents a positive and welcome first step. But there is more to be done.

Bring Down Bills: Views from across the sector outlines the ways in which bills can be reduced even further in the short term and the longer term, with contributions from across the sector, charities, and consumer bodies. Their ideas are diverse, but together they present a united effort and desire to bring down energy bills for good.
