We depend on dirty, costly oil and gas imports for power that we can get from the sun, wind and waves. It’s time to confront the Big Six energy companies which profit by keeping the UK hooked on fossil fuels. Renewable technologies offer us a secure, clean, sustainable and affordable energy future.

    Situation

    Our current energy system is broken. Oil and gas imports are ever more costly and consumers' bills have rocketed. Just six companies control 99% of Britain's power. They are making huge profits keeping us hooked on dirty, costly fossil fuels, while the planet and people's pockets suffer. Anger with the status quo is everywhere, but so is confusion and uncertainty about the alternatives. We must show that renewable technologies offer the UK a path to secure, clean energy that we can all afford.

    Solution

    Government is set to overhaul Britain's energy system in the next 2 years through its once in a generation Electricity Market Reform. We must act on this opportunity to ditch our dirty, costly, insecure supply in favour of home-grown green energy, decentralised production and energy saving measures. By demanding a major public inquiry into the Big Six and lobbying Government to open the energy market to independent suppliers, we will ensure our future energy supply favours people and the planet
