Millions of households will continue to struggle unless both Westminster and Holyrood deliver fair energy pricing reform, targeted bill support and a fully funded, ambitious Warm Homes Plan to fix cold, damp homes for good.

🔹Bills will still be hundreds of pounds higher in April 2026 than before the crisis.
🔹In Scotland, scrapping the ECO levy means a real-terms cut to energy-efficiency funding, something the Chancellor must address using Windfall Tax revenues.

[3/4]

But the big picture hasn’t changed:

🔹More North Sea drilling won’t cut bills. Our gas reserves are running out, and new extraction won’t deliver cheaper or more secure energy.
🔹As the industry declines, workers and communities must be properly supported through the transition.

Ministers also need to address the 25% funding gap created by scrapping the ECO scheme, which risks undermining long-term progress on reducing bills.

A small step forward, but far from the action needed to make homes warm and affordable.

To genuinely end the energy bills crisis, the Government must go beyond headline measures. That means reforming energy pricing, targeting support at those most at risk, delivering a new fuel poverty strategy and pushing forward with an ambitious Warm Homes Plan to upgrade cold, damp homes.

But this still leaves bills hundreds of pounds above winter 2020/21 and £97 higher than at the General Election, meaning many households will continue to struggle through a fifth winter of high costs.

This Budget must finally deliver a plan to end fuel poverty.

That means:
🏠Fully funding the Warm Homes Plan

⚡Reforming our broken energy pricing system
💬Introducing a fair social tariff

🔧Backing a national programme to insulate cold homes

💰Using excess energy profits to support households, not reduce tax bills for polluters

[3/4]

Today’s Budget is a crucial moment. The Government has a choice:

* Continue with short-term fixes that barely dent bills, or
* Deliver the long-term investment that will actually cut them for good.

This Budget is the moment to choose: Warm homes for the public, or tax breaks for fossil fuel giants?

If Ministers are serious about cutting bills for good, they must protect, not raid, the Warm Homes Plan. Energy efficiency is the single most effective way to lower bills, reduce demand, and lift households out of fuel poverty.

Cutting the UK’s biggest energy-efficiency programme would be a disastrous step backwards. It would mean colder homes, higher bills, and millions left without the long-term support they were promised.

🛠️Improve energy security without new costs for households
⚡Fix our broken pricing system so people aren’t punished for using clean power

This Budget hast to be a turning point, and not another missed opportunity

🏠Fully fund the Warm Homes Plan
🔌Lower electricity prices through genuine reform
💬Introduce a fair social tariff

[3/4]

We need long-term investment in energy efficiency, not short-term thinking.
We need action to bring down electricity prices, not excuses.
And we need a fair tax regime that puts people before profiteers.

If the Government truly wants to cut bills and protect the public, it must:
