ENERGY bill payers across the UK face an extra £7.8 billion in costs every year by 2030 under the Labour Government's current plans for the electricity grid, according to a major new report.
The National Audit Office (NAO) document, published on Friday, further warns that even if the UK Government successfully accelerates grid upgrades, then bill payers will still face additional charges of up to £3.6bn a year by 2030.
