Energy bills to rise because of delays to Labour's plan to slash prices
Briefly

The UK's clean energy projects are facing delays, leading to potential increases in household electricity bills. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has pledged to reduce energy bills by 300 by 2030 through renewable energy sources like wind farms. However, critical grid projects in East Anglia and the southeast, necessary for connecting offshore wind farms, are delayed until after 2030. The National Energy System Operator estimates these delays could result in consumers paying an additional 4.2 billion in constraint costs in 2030, jeopardizing the clean power target.
