A coalition of green energy organisations and suppliers is calling on the chancellor to move environmental levies off household bills and into general taxation to help ease the pain of soaring gas prices.
Measures offered by the Treasury so far “do not go far enough to address a severe increase in energy bill costs” that will hit most households next week as the price cap on energy bills increases by 54 per cent to £1,971 a year, they say.
April 1 will be “a cliff edge for many households”, according to a letter to Rishi Sunak signed by suppliers including Octopus Energy, Ecotricity and Good Energy.
