flag The Tony Blair Institute urges UK to prioritize affordable, reliable energy over 2030 clean power target, citing rising costs and grid risks.

flag The Tony Blair Institute has urged the UK government to shift focus from its 2030 clean power target to prioritizing cheaper, more reliable energy, warning that current decarbonization policies risk raising bills and weakening the grid. flag While supporting the long-term 2050 net zero goal, the think tank recommends removing carbon taxes on gas, adopting zonal pricing, streamlining planning, and ending subsidies for Drax biomass. flag The call comes amid skepticism over Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s pledge to cut household bills by £300 by 2030, with the original cost-saving analysis now deemed outdated due to rising offshore wind and grid costs. flag Despite rising energy prices and political pressure, the government maintains that clean energy expansion will deliver long-term affordability and stability.
