The LFG Emergency Energy Bill
Britain is in an Energy Emergency
Our energy system is broken. Our energy prices are some of the most expensive in the world. Last year, we were one power station away from mass blackouts.
These costs make our companies uncompetitive. That means our industries are collapsing.
They make British households poor. That means they are just surviving, not living.
Our Bill is ready-made. It would cut bills dramatically. The Government could pass it tomorrow, and the British people would see the benefits on their next bill.
Here's how:
- Scraps all levies on energy bills. These levies were introduced as a stealth tax and have allowed the Energy Department to become a second Treasury.
- Reopens the North Sea, and uses the tax revenue to get bills down.
- Stops new CfD contracts. Last year, billpayers paid £1.5 billion for big renewable energy corporations to throw energy away. By 2030, it'll be £8 billion. This settlement is a national scandal so the Bill launches an investigation into who and what was responsible.
- Scraps the Clean Power 2030 targets. These arbitrary targets have long pushed civil servants to procure wind, whatever the cost.
- Ditches the duties of energy regulators, NESO and Ofgem, towards Net Zero, so their only focus is to minimise energy costs, subject to supply security.
- Holds auctions for connecting to the grid, and uses the proceeds generated to get bills down.
Last year, our campaign to force the Government to accept all of the Fingleton Review's recommendations worked. If implemented in full, it will fix our energy system for the long term.
The LFG Emergency Energy Bill will get bills down now, saving households from poverty, and industries from collapse.
