The government will announce plans to decouple electricity and gas prices, aiming to shield households and businesses from future gas price spikes. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband is expected to outline these measures on Tuesday, signalling a firm commitment to accelerating the shift to clean energy.
Mr Miliband's speech will reportedly declare a commitment to "double down not back down" on green power, accelerating renewable energy deployment and electrifying heating and transport to reduce fossil fuel reliance. Specific steps include expanding renewables on publicly owned land, like solar panels near railway lines, and simplifying green tech installation, such as EV chargers without driveways.
