Safety at home, clean air inside and low cost energy must go together. Households - like businesses - need support with the upfront costs of switching to electricity from gas, alongside energy policy that makes electricity affordable to use. [2/3]

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.

Raiding the Warm Homes Plan budget would break a manifesto promise. When we last did polling on this issue, 48% of Labour voters said the pledge to upgrade cold homes was a factor in their vote. Cutting the Plan could lead to higher bills for longer and voters will see it as a betrayal.

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.

We’ve joined trade unions, think tanks and campaign groups, including @neweconomics.bsky.social , in signing a joint letter to the Chancellor, coordinated by @costoflivingaction.bsky.social, calling for energy support for all households alongside targeted help for those most in need. [2/4]

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.

While households are struggling to afford heating this winter a handful of energy firms have announced over £6 billion in profits from UK operations this year alone. People need help now and protection against what comes next. Ministers must prepare before winter takes hold. [4/4]

End Fuel Poverty Coalition @endfuelpoverty.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

That protection must come alongside immediate help for vulnerable households: a bigger Warm Home Discount, energy debt relief and better Cold Weather Payments. [3/4]

Our proposal would cap gas and heating oil prices, with equivalent support for households using LPG, heat networks and electric heating. Support would kick in when prices exceed those limits. [2/4]

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]

We've suggested a price linked activation - potentially at 10p/kwh for gas and £1/litre for heating oil with equivalents for other heat sources.

Gas bills rise again tomorrow and forecasts point to another spike in January. We're calling for Ministers to prepare to implement an Emergency Heat Tariff alongside delivering on more targeted support in the Budget. www.endfuelpoverty.org.uk/emergency-he...

Public control must deliver a clear public benefit: affordable energy and warm homes. [3/3]

End Fuel Poverty Coalition @endfuelpoverty.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

That means pairing long-term investment with emergency support for people struggling today. It also means reforming electricity pricing and speeding up the Warm Homes Plan, helping households improve energy efficiency and make their homes warmer. [2/3]

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]

💰️ In order to do so, the Chancellor must take a serious look at energy industry profits. This year, a handful of fossil fuel companies have made £6 billion in windfall profits from their UK operations alone – and that's with the Energy Profits Levy (EPL) already in place. (2/4)

We have joined other organisations in urging the Chancellor to make sure the new tax raises at least as much as the current one. After five years of huge profits for energy firms and high bills for households, this is no time to give oil and gas companies a tax cut. [2/3]

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]

That matters here too. In the UK, families are still paying off energy debt from the colder months. Now, as summers get hotter, many also face the risk of overheating in their homes. Meanwhile, Shell reported more than £12 billion in profits in the first half of 2026. [3/4]

More than 100 survivors of Typhoon Odette in the Philippines are suing Shell in the UK. If their claim succeeds, it could set a precedent for holding oil and gas companies financially responsible for climate harm. [2/4]

Polling commissioned by the EFPC found that twice as many Scots support the windfall tax as oppose it, with nearly one in five strongly backing the measure. As households continue to struggle with unaffordable bills, politicians like Marra, should stay strong in defending the windfall tax. [2/2]

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]
