Many thanks @LukeMLabour for your support! Absolutely right to say that reducing electricity prices is urgent and vital. If we want to both tackle fuel poverty and incentivise the switch to clean heating, then we must cut electricity costs by moving levies into general taxation.
⚡ Last week I met with heat pump installers, fuel poverty campaigners and environmental charities in Parliament to back a simple but urgent goal: cutting electricity prices. The UK has some of the highest electricity costs in Europe. Too many families are still facing

Delighted to feature Charlotte Lee @HeatPumpAssoc, who spoke to us at our #Parliamentary Reception about the record number of #HeatPumps sold in 2024, the importance of @MCS certification, & the role of the #BoilerUpgradeScheme & ECO in driving uptake.

New figures from @helloheatpumps show a significant gap in #HeatPump uptake across #Europe. The UK has a long way to go to catch up with #European neighbours, but is on a positive upward trajectory.

Fantastic to see Garry Felgate, our CEO, in @TheHouseMag speaking about the UK’s high #electricity pricing. Removing levies from electricity #bills would accelerate the adoption of #renewable technology and reduce #energy costs for households.

We welcome the announcement in today’s #SpendingReview that the #Government has committed to fully funding the #WarmHomesPlan. The Warm Homes Plan will not only help homeowners to access #renewable heating technologies, like #HeatPumps and reduce bills.

We have launched a report revealing a value-action gap in how UK homeowners' approach #EnergyEfficiency. While many recognise the comfort & cost benefits of #retrofitting, for many it's at the bottom of their #renovation priorities.

Listen to our CEO Garry Felgate’s interview with @chrisgolds on @LBCNews discussing the #FutureHomesStandard. Garry welcomed @energygovuk's announcement that the vast majority of new homes will have #SolarPanels & #HeatPumps, in a huge win for #NetZero.

This is fantastic news, for the UK renewables industry, for households' bills, and for our national energy security. Great to see a wide range of stakeholder support for this very positive announcment from @energygovuk and @Ed_Miliband.
New build homes will have solar panels fitted by default, saving homeowners hundreds of pounds off their energy bills 💸. Homes will also have low-carbon heating, such as heat pumps, which are now easier to install following a change in planning rules 🏠.
