As we tackle climate change, we will have the interests of consumers at the front of our mind, now and for future generations.
We are committed to ensuring that the cost of the transition to net zero is fair and affordable. We have consistently balanced spending on measures that decarbonise the energy system with the need to help consumers save money on their bills. Thanks to early investment, many low-carbon technologies are now cheaper than their fossil fuel counterparts.
