Current energy pricing in the UK is heavily influenced by fossil gas costs, which have surged due to geopolitical tensions, notably the Iran conflict.
Common Wealth's analysis suggests that reforms to the pricing structure could alleviate this burden, potentially leading to significant annual savings for households.
By decoupling energy prices from volatile fossil gas rates, the UK could enhance energy stability and affordability, improving overall system resilience.
