The True Cost of Energy
Tom Heap is joined by an expert panel to discuss how our energy market can be reshaped to produce smaller bills in a low carbon future.
In the UK, more than half our electricity is generated without using fossil fuels. Despite that, the rocketing price of gas has lead to matching increases in our electricity bills. Why the disconnect? What could we be doing differently so that consumers benefit from cheap renewable power? And what will the current crisis mean for our long term aims of reducing our use of fossil fuels?
In this programme, Tom Heap asks an expert panel how our energy market can be reshaped to produce smaller bills in a low carbon future.
He's joined by:
Glenn Rickson - Head of European Power Analysts with S&P Global Commodity Insights
Emma Pinchbeck - CEO of Energy UK, the trade body for the British energy industry
Michael Grubb - Professor of Energy and Climate Change at UCL
Producer: Heather Simons
