The Queen Announces New Energy Saving Plan – Energy Comparison News
The Queen discusses a new Energy Bill during her speech this year, with a new bill that includes over 150 million pounds to help Britons with the cost of fuel.
Low-income people will be helped through a rebate, along with another program designed to help reduce energy bills of around a million customers. Ofgem will also be given greater power to protect users from unfair fuel prices.
Last year, about 4.4 million households were suffering from fuel poverty and over 3 million of those households were in England. Fuel poverty is caused by not enough personal income, rising energy prices and homes that are not energy efficient.
To solve this problem in the long term, more money is needed to make homes more energy efficient and energy companies will need to be closely watched as prices go up.
