Over this Parliament the Government is working relentlessly to translate the much cheaper wholesale costs of clean power into lower bills for consumers. This will be core to every decision we make.

We pay close attention to the balance of costs recovered on energy bills. We are considering a range of different options to ascertain which best delivers on our priorities but are mindful we are currently operating in a difficult fiscal environment.

This is a complex issue and decisions will be made which must be informed by robust research and analysis. We will ensure we keep fairness and affordability at the forefront of our minds throughout this process.
