Emma Pinchbeck, new CEO of the Climate Change Committee, asserts that electricity prices can and should be lower, especially as the UK aims for net zero by 2050. She emphasizes that renewable energy has proven to be a cheaper alternative to fossil fuels and argues that the removal of certain government levies could further decrease electricity prices. According to Pinchbeck, the adoption of renewable technologies not only increases efficiencies but also reduces reliance on imported gas, ultimately benefiting consumers financially amidst rising energy costs in the UK compared to the US and Europe.
Electricity can and should be cheaper. It is absolutely essential that the Government looks at how they can make electricity cheaper for consumers and businesses as soon as possible.
The overall efficiencies of renewables and their cost to build compared to the cost of fossil fuel energy plants demonstrate that renewable energy is cheaper technology.
