The nights are drawing in, soon they will be cold, then freezing. But this winter will not have the government support of 2022 to help with rocketing energy bills.
Let’s be clear about why bills are high. The Conservatives failed to build gas storage, failed to invest in green energy, and failed to retrofit home insulation. The impact of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine could have been absorbed more readily if the basics had been done, but they weren’t, because the UK’s energy system is broken. It’s in this context that Labour announced an Energy Independence Act, designed to protect the UK from external shocks.
But we are not on a faster path. Remember, no building, no investing, no retrofitting. This is why we are going into another winter with no plan to make anything better, just kneejerk crisis reactions. In the meantime, gas prices are at a four-month high. And data published by the energy regulator Ofgem found that last winter more than half a million prepayment meter customers disconnected from their gas and electric.
