英文摘要 | Investing now in energy saving solutions could save the Chancellor hundreds of billions in ‘sticking plaster’ solutions this decade. StoryShelling out to stand still: The UK government has spent £37bn this year to stand still on soaring costs of living, without meaningful investment in solutions which could permanently reduce bills. With estimates that fossil fuel prices will remain at an unprecedented level until at least 2030, E3G is calling for long-term energy saving solutions to save the Treasury from needing to spend hundreds of billions in ‘sticking plaster’ solutions. The inefficiency penalty: Households living in the least efficient homes will pay around £916 more per year on energy bills when the energy price cap rises to £2,800. If everyone living in homes below Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) band C were improved to EPC C today, the aggregate saving would be £10.6bn each year. Independent climate and energy think tank E3G sets out a package of measures to make rapid near-term progress, saving families an average of between £450 – over £1,000 per year. In a report published today (7th June), leading energy and climate think tank E3G sets out a package of measures to permanently cut bills through renovation measures to make British homes warmer and more efficient to heat. The think tank says the UK government has so far “failed to deliver” on energy saving measures at scale – such as home insulation and electric heat pumps to get off gas – with the recent Spring Statement, British Energy Security Strategy and recent windfall tax package noticeably quiet on energy efficiency. Key measures proposed include:
