英文摘要 | UK Government’s new tax relief for companies that invest in oil and gas production could have insulated two million homes, according to new research from independent climate change think tank E3G. StoryNew research by independent climate think tank E3G explores the dangers of tax relief for oil and gas development. The new measures, announced last week, commit the government to a subsidy of up to £5.7bn for investment in oil and gas in the next three years. This lost revenue could have instead supercharged an energy efficiency drive, insulating two million British homes over the same period, with an average bill saving of £342 per household every year. By introducing additional tax relief limited to oil and gas investment, Treasury incentivises a slower transition and pushes companies to allocate profits towards new oil and gas developments instead of renewables. If this revenue had instead been spent on supporting energy efficiency measures it would have the potential to lift households out of energy poverty for good. Energy efficiency was absent from the Chancellor’s emergency support package announcement, meaning UK households’ long-term reliance on gas will remain. Without action, household bills will be set to remain high for the foreseeable future Euan Graham, Senior Researcher at E3G said:
