We are pleased to announce that major energy supplier E.ON has joined the Energy Bill Revolution alliance, for warm homes and lower bills.
The Energy Bill Revolution is calling on the Government to use the money it gets from carbon taxes to make our homes super-energy efficient. This is the only permanent way to drive down energy bills and end fuel poverty.
From next year the Government will be collecting over £2 billion in carbon tax every year, rising to £4 billion by 2020 and £7 billion by 2027. Recycled back into energy efficiency programmes, this would be enough to super-insulate more than 600,000 homes a year, bringing 9 out of 10 homes out of fuel poverty. It could quadruple carbon emission savings from households compared to the government’s new energy efficiency policies, and a new report for Consumer focus shows the Energy Bill Revolution is also best for economic growth and job creation.
Tony Cocker, Chief Executive of E.ON UK, said:
“We are pleased to join the Energy Bill Revolution. Saving energy is the best way to cut energy costs, and energy efficiency is the best way to save energy. We will do our part in helping our customers reduce how much energy they use, training all of our customer facing teams on energy efficiency, and make sure that they are on the best tariff for them. But with energy costs becoming an increasingly large part of household bills, it is important that money taken out of the energy system by the Government in tax is spent on schemes to help customers manage this increase.”
