Leaving the EU has added a cost burden to the already record prices households pay for their electricity.

Why heightened engagement is imperative for Net Zero.

The inefficiencies of Brexit cost UK consumers hundreds of millions of pounds, just as food and energy prices surged.

British consumers spent as much as £1.1 billion ($1.4 billion) more on electricity and goods last year after losing access to European Union internal energy markets.
