Bringing heating oil under proper regulation is a step in the right direction for rural households who have been left to fend for themselves every time global oil prices spike. [1/3]

Households need a route away from volatile gas prices. Cutting support for heat pumps will only make that harder. The answer is to target the Boiler Upgrade Scheme better, to help households who can’t afford the upfront costs, including those in rural areas, to get off the gas grid. [1/2]

Are fixed deals worth it? Only a handful of fixed energy deals remain below the current price cap. According to @UswitchUK data, six fixed deals beat the current cap, while 39 come in below forecasts for January. [1/4]

New Resolution Foundation research reveals the scale of the cost-of-living crisis, with the poorest households cutting back most on energy and falling further behind on essential bills. Our exposure to volatile gas prices keeps households trapped in a cycle of unaffordable energy costs. [1/4]

Households face a brutal winter as gas and heating oil costs rise. 

 On LBC, we called for urgent support to keep people warm and faster investment to help households move away from gas and oil for good.

The new energy price cap is now in force, with the UK’s exposure to volatile gas prices continuing to hit household bills. As energy firms post huge profits and households struggle, our film explains why people need lasting protection from unaffordable energy bills.

It also means wiping the record energy debt plaguing consumers + increasing + extending existing winter support, such as the Warm Home Discount. Andy Burnham has said he wants to "take the pressure off" struggling households. Now is his chance to act. 📷️ Image 2/4: Independent Age

With the Energy Independence Bill + Budget approaching, it's time to take drastic action to get Britain off gas + support households through the winter ahead. That means breaking the link between gas prices + electricity bills, funding home efficiency upgrades, + moving to homegrown renewables.

Ofgem's price cap is rising today, but experts predict the worst is yet to come. All the while we stay hooked to volatile fossil fuel markets, UK households will be stuck with high energy bills, while energy giants take home billions in profit.

Keeping warm this winter shouldn’t mean falling into debt, and that’s why we’re calling for an Emergency Heat Tariff to protect households against further price rises, whatever fuel they use to heat their homes. [1/4]

Families need lower energy bills now - they can’t wait another ten years for cheaper bills. Greater public control of the grid is a step in the right direction, but the test for GB Grid will be whether it really delivers lower bills for households. [1/3]

New analysis from @globalwitness.org shows that planned changes to oil and gas industry taxes could cost the Treasury billions. That money could help people still paying off energy debt and provide more support through the Warm Home Discount. [1/3]

Trump’s war with Iran is pushing up energy bills in the UK. Wholesale gas prices have more than doubled since US military action began, with UK gas now at its highest level in four years. Household bills are rising again in October, with further increases expected this winter. [1/2]

Scottish Labour leader Michael Marra previously defended plans to strengthen and extend the windfall tax on oil and gas companies, arguing that the policy would provide certainty and support a stable energy transition. As energy firms still post billions in profits, voters still back the tax [1/2]

Over 8,000 households applied for heat pump grants in a month - more than double the number in the same month last year. The rise follows an increase in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant to £9,000 for eligible households replacing oil or LPG heating in England and Wales. [1/4]

Sadly, those in fuel poverty, debilitated by rising energy bills caused by over-reliance on oil + gas, aren't afforded that luxury. With gas prices at a 4-year high and Ofgem's price cap rising, those are the people that ministers should be listening to. (2/2) *Study by Fossil Free Parliament

The UK’s dependence on oil + gas makes a select few richer + the rest of us poorer. But while fossil fuel execs demand an end to the Windfall Tax on huge company profits, we’re urging the government to redirect profits into supporting those who will need the most help with bills this winter. (3/3)

Shell’s CEO Wael Sawan has seen his shares grow in value by £1.2 million since the start of the war in Iran. The same conflict has sent our energy bills to a three-year high. Clearly, only a small pocket of people are benefitting from the crisis, and it’s not ordinary UK households. (1/3)
