Energy price cap reaction: Time to end costly reliance on gas, says IPPR

Reacting to the latest energy price cap, Sam Alvis, associate director for IPPR, said:  

"Households are once again facing higher bills as gas prices rise. The public is clear—they want to end this costly reliance and shift to homegrown, secure, and low-cost renewables.

"The transition to renewables will mean lower, more stable prices, freeing us from the mood swings of the gas market. But people need to see that the government is on their side now.

"Immediate action on household costs can help sustain public support for the rapid expansion of clean energy. The government should consider rebalancing costs between bills and taxation and review how Ofgem calculates charges.”
