Email your MP asking for urgent reform of electricity pricing

The way our electricity market operates and how the pricing stricture works is very complex, which has led to the UK having some of the highest electricity costs in Europe. There is an urgent need to reform the electricity pricing structure, with the aim of reducing costs for consumers, while still providing enough profit to support investment and growth in the renewables sector.  

Around 17% of an electricity bill consists of a range of environmental and social levies designed to support the growth of renewables in the UK. We want to see these levies moved into general taxation which will both reduce electricity bills and reduce levels of fuel poverty in the UK. 

And we want this to change as fast as possible, to bring bills down and make the electrification of our homes a more attractive proposition. So we are asking you to take few minutes to write to your MP asking for their support in changing the way electricity is priced.
