The government could save households and businesses £5.1 billion a year on their energy bills, as soon as 2028, by overhauling the electricity market to stop gas-fired power stations from ‘unfair profiteering’, a new report published today by Greenpeace UK has found. This would stop expensive gas from setting electricity prices, protect UK billpayers from gas price volatility and significantly lower bills. Total household electricity bills could fall by as much as £1.7 billion a year by 2028, and by £3.3 billion for all businesses and industry under the proposed changes. This would save the average household £65 a year on their electricity bills, the average pub £850, and the average cafe £820.
