In reaction to Ofgem’s latest price cap announcement, Greenpeace UK’s climate campaigner, Georgia Whitaker, said:
“Don’t get too excited by the headlines. Thanks to the government’s failure to properly invest in insulating homes or switching to cheap, low-carbon heating – even with this fall in the price of energy – we’re all still paying 100% more to heat our homes now than we were three years ago.
“Last winter should have been a wakeup call for the government to deliver the nationwide insulation programme and wholesale switch to cheap, renewable powered heat pumps that we desperately need. This is a common sense way to lower bills for good, reduce our emissions and level up communities across the UK.
“Unless the government ramps up the delivery of clean heat, history will repeat itself and millions will be facing another long, cold winter with bills they cannot afford to pay.”
