Winds of change will blow in lower bills

Households saw their average energy bills rise by 6 percent during "Awful April" this year-despite the UK generating more electricity from renewable sources than ever before.

It has left many people wondering when they will see the financial benefits of British green energy.

While the cost of energy remains high, the good news is that the transition to clean renewable energy is well under way and this will bring energy prices down while improving the environment and energy security.

The Government has a plan to ditch nearly all fossil fuels from the UK's electricity supply by 2030 and that means ramping up wind and solar and winding down gas turbines.

These changes should cut bills by as much as £300 by the end of the decade, according to the government.

For now bills are still high - that's due to how our electricity market works and how much we still depend on polluting and expensive fossil fuels.
