UK Conservatives pledge 20% energy bill cut by ending carbon tax, wind subsidies, and climate laws.
The Conservative Party has pledged to cut average household energy bills by 20%, or £165 annually, by scrapping the carbon tax on electricity and ending wind farm subsidies, arguing these measures would lower costs and boost domestic energy production.
Shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho claimed the carbon tax raises prices across all electricity sources and that wind subsidies lead to excessive developer profits.
The party also plans to repeal the Climate Change Act, lift the ban on new oil and gas licenses, reverse the energy profits levy, and abolish Great British Energy, calling it a failed "vanity project."
Critics note that renewable energy has helped reduce overall electricity costs by cutting reliance on gas, especially during supply crises, warning that removing these policies could lead to higher long-term bills despite short-term savings.
