Why Are Bills So High?

The energy market is broken by design. Hidden charges are layered into your bill by policy, not accident - and most people have no idea they're paying them. Here's what's really going on.

💨

You pay wind farms to switch off. When it's too windy, the grid can't cope - so we pay generators to stop producing. That cost lands on your bill.

Electricity prices are set by gas - even when most of our power comes from cheap wind and solar. It's a pricing mechanism that inflates your bill even on a calm, sunny day.

💸

You're picking up other people's debt. UK energy debt hit £4.4 billion. Suppliers spread that cost across all customers - so your bill is quietly subsidising everyone who isn't paying theirs.

Every time you switch, you force suppliers to compete harder for your business. More switching means a more competitive market and better deals for everyone. Switching is how it gets fixed.
