We are pleased to announce that major energy supplier RWE npower 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.
RWE npower Chief Commercial Officer Paul Massara said:
“We’re pleased to support the Energy Bill Revolution as we believe any money raised through the energy system should go to customers. Energy efficiency is fundamental in reducing household energy bills and carbon emissions. Over the next 15 years, the Government will raise £63 billion in carbon taxes and this money could help insulate millions of homes.”
