What the headlines get wrong about Ofgem’s announcement:
Ofgem’s new network plans for 2026–31 were reported as “bill rises”: but most of the cost comes from gas.

Electricity grid upgrades actually save households £16 by unlocking more cheap renewable power. 👇

📈 The rise in energy prices over the past four years have cost the UK £183 billion. That’s more than the NHS’s annual £117 billion budget.

🤯 This is the cost of fossil fuel dependency. We urge the Treasury to listen to @e3g.bsky.social ahead of Wednesday's budget.
