In the Coalition’s first annual energy statement to the Commons, Chris Huhne, the Energy Secretary, outlined plans to transform Britain’s power system and cut carbon emissions by 80 per cent within the next 40 years. He announced 32 separate measures, from the use of smart meters in all homes to a major expansion of renewable energy sources, including a new generation of nuclear power stations and up to 44,000 wind turbines.
However, Mr Huhne’s department admitted that such policies could increase the price of electricity by up to a third and gas by up to a fifth. This would make the average family’s annual energy bill of £1,100, £300 more expensive.
To offset this, the Energy Secretary said people would have to make “ambitious” cuts in their own consumption and improve the energy efficiency of their homes, including installing energy generators such as solar panels.

The energy grants are not that generous here in the UK, up to a few thousand and you do not even see the money it is done by contractors who deal with the government through the warm front agency. Also we do not have a government committed to renewables, which I know that the Germans are. 100% renewables by 2050 is the plan there. Very good for the balance of trade for Germany as well.

save and reduce energy usage and the prices go up and up and up
there must be something retailers can learn from this …
