Lower energy bills. Energy efficient homes. Cleaner energy.
Windfall Tax in the firing line as Tony Blair’s think tank backs fossil fuels.
Analysts argue that advice from the “Institute for Global Change” would do little to help household energy costs, would damage energy security and hand a profits boost to energy firms.

Heat pump installations are increasing - that’s an important step towards cutting emissions, but the pace of change still isn’t where it needs to be.
As gas markets continue to drive bill volatility and domestic supplies decline, households need a stable, long-term alternative for heating.

🏠Households are still paying the cost of our long-term reliance on volatile gas markets.
Renewables offer a clear alternative. Expanding cheap, home-grown clean power can cut bills by reducing our dependence on expensive gas generation.

No. Ministers must ensure the system is on the side of consumers, not the energy giants that have generated more than £125 billion in UK profits since 2020.
The U.K. government should reconsider its tax on oil and gas firms in the North Sea, according to the think tank run by former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Tony Blair’s lobby group: Labour should rethink Windfall Tax
The tax on oil and gas profits has been in place since 2022.

By improving how homes hold onto heat, and combining that with low-carbon technologies like heat pumps and solar, millions of households could use less energy overall, and pay less for it too ✅

But the bigger picture is clear. Ageing gas boilers are linked to dangerous carbon monoxide risks in fuel poor homes, and the UK’s gas supply is in long-term decline.
