Governments measures to tackle the energy crisis don’t address the scale of the problem.
The Renewable Energy Association (REA) yesterday commented on the proposals form the government after Ofgem raised the price cap to £1,971, a rise of £693 in England, Wales and Scotland from April. A further increase of £400 is expected to come in the winter after the next cap is set in six months’ time.
The Government has said that they will introduce a loan scheme and an expansion of the Warm Homes Discount, both measures advocated by the REA. However, on their own, the measures, even when combined with the council tax rebate, will cover just half of the price cap rise.
