NEW CAMPAIGN TO CUT ENERGY BILLS BY SCRAPPING NET ZERO TARGETS

Labour won the election on a clear promise to tackle the “underlying causes” of the cost-of-living crisis and bring energy bills down. Clean Power 2030 (CP30) - Ed Miliband’s mission to decarbonise the electricity grid over the next five years - was sold as the policy to deliver those savings, with repeated claims it would cut costs by £300 and “lower bills for good”. 

Yet evidence since the election shows the opposite is happening - with prices rising by £150.
