#BringDownBills
[H3] How to cut bills
We know energy bills have been too high for too long – both for households and for businesses across the economy. It’s why this winter, we’re campaigning to #BringDownBills.
Building more British energy will lead to more stable energy bills and bring a host of wider economic benefits – but this will take time. To bring down bills in the shorter term, we have set out a range of options for the Government to consider in our report ‘How to cut bills: A crisis we can’t afford to ignore’.
