Why does it cost so much?

Reduce costs in the power system in the long-term whilst ensuring the UK meets its climate change targets.

An independent review into reducing costs in each element of the electricity supply chain has been published.  Building on the government’s Industrial Strategy Green Paper, Professor Dieter Helm CBE was asked in August to consider the whole electricity supply chain of generation, transmission, distribution and supply.

The review follows the plan set out in July by government and Ofgem to upgrade our network to a smarter energy system, and the publication of draft legislation on an energy price cap to keep families’ energy bills as low as possible.
