OFGEM SAYS ENERGY BILLS UNLIKELY TO FALL FOR REST OF DECADE (www.ft.com/) Energy bills are not expected to fall substantially over the decade partly due to the costs of building out the electricity network to support the shift to renewables, the chair of the energy regulator has warned. Mark McAllister said that Ofgem expects bills to be “relatively flat in the medium term”, adding that he backed more “targeted support” for households’ struggling with their energy bills. McAllister at Ofgem since November, said: “As we build in more and more renewables, we’re also building in the price, amortised over many years, of the networks as well. “If we look at the forecasts for wholesale prices and then build on top of that the costs of the network going forward, I think we see something in our view that is relatively flat in the medium term.” Last week Ofgem announced a 7% fall from July in the price cap that governs most British household energy bills, because of falling wholesale costs, meaning typical households would pay £1,568 / year. The costs are inflation-linked, but will also factor in the investment needed to develop cables and pylons to cope with the rise of wind and solar farms, heat pumps and electric cars under the shift away from fossil fuels. #smallbusinessowners #smes #energyprices #kentbusiness #fsb #ukenergy #ukenergytransitions
