Powering Britain’s comeback: How can we have cheap electricity?

The UK has some of the most expensive electricity in the world. If we don’t electrify, we will become more reliant on imports, global competitors will overtake us, and we will fail to see much needed economic growth. But with volatile gas setting electricity prices, and legacy levies and network costs driving up costs, how can we afford to electrify? Could bold reforms to our energy markets help lower the cost of electricity?

Solving Britain's energy crisis

Energy prices are crippling Britain, as heavy industry is driven overseas and families worry about their heating bills. Labour remain ideologically blind to opportunities in the North Sea, new nuclear is tied up in planning red-tape, fracking myths are holding back exploration and renewables are viewed as too reliant on public subsidy. So how can we fix things?

Energy independence: Can domestic gas production deliver energy security?

The Iran-US war shows how vulnerable the UK’s energy supply is to global events. Expanding domestic energy production can deliver energy security. But how much additional oil and gas is viable to be extracted in the North Sea or via fracking? What role could greener gases such as biomethane or hydrogen play? Can we bolster gas production and balance climate concerns? Long term, is the route to energy security via oil and gas or electrification?
