PUT ENERGY INTO SLASHING BILLS

New government urged to fix broken market

THE next UK government must take "decisive" action to reform the broken energy market and bring down soaring bills, housing campaigners have said.

Members of the Existing Homes Alliance (EHA) said the SNP government at Holyrood must also ramp up energy efficiency programmes and schemes to connect households with clean heat.

With wind power four times cheaper than gas, they urged the incoming Westminster government to change the National Grid pricing system which is still tied to gas.
