Can face homes across Britain Electricity Bill increases Due to delay Government clean energy Projects.
Energy secretary Ed Milliband It is already pledged that the average domestic energy bill will be £ 300 by 2030. Britain winds change to use more renewable energy than farms.
However, ministers have been warned that three important projects are “important to give a network that supports clean power roads” There will be a delay by 2030.
The National Energy System Operator (NESO) calculated that these projects will cost consumers around £ 4.2 billion in 2030.
Three important grid projects in Eastern Anglia and Southeast need to be added to offshore wind farms In the North Sea, Neso said.
The report stated, “Our evaluation suggests that without these projects, clean power purpose will not be achieved, the clean power target was left about 1.6% in 2030, and consumers may face an additional hurdle cost of £ 4.2 billion in 2030.”
The cost of the barrier is paid to the penalty when power cannot flow efficiently where it is required.
This means that the government may have to compensate the offshore wind farm developers to switch turbines as electricity grids will not be able to carry electricity to homes, and fear that these costs will be passed on customers.
The report urges a more involved approach that considers both national and local networks to avoid hurdles. It highlights the new power grid-growing technologies and the benefits of additional projects that can cut dependence on polluting gas power stations.
Bringing forward eight more projects can be reduced to 1.7 billion pounds in 2030, but the operator said that doing so would be “extremely difficult” without reforms in planning rules and funding processes.
Shadow power secretary Claire Cutinho Mr. Miliband’s pledge to reduce the bill from £ 300 was “always an imagination”.
“This is when you set yourself impossible climate goals and ignore the costs,” he wrote on X, Twitter in the east.
The Energy Safety Department and NET Zero have been contacted for comment.
This comes when the government announced that it would give up its plans for energy pricing areas.
Energy Secretary was considering proposals for zonal pricing, which will see different regions of the country paying different rates for their electricity based on local supply and demand.
But the government has now decided to maintain a single national wholesale price.
Zonal pricing must have seen the bills how much electricity is available, which means the market prices will be low in areas like Scotland, which generate large amounts of electricity.
But this also means that market prices in other parts of the country, such as South East, were high.
Supporters of the scheme said that this power would save billions of pounds every year by making the grid more efficient, but critics said it would create a postcode lottery where people face unfair inequality in bills.
