The future energy bill is an electricity bill.
This is why we must 'Make Electricity Cheaper' for households, businesses and industry.
In our 3rd paper at RAP on this topic, Tom Butler & I look at reducing tax & levies added to electricity prices for industry.

Be careful what you wish for. “China got to where it is today by setting a long-term strategy and sticking to it. There’s a lesson there for Europe’s policymakers and auto industry”. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
🎧 RAP’s @louisesunderland.bsky.social joins journalist @kirataylor.bsky.social to talk about making electricity cheaper and fairer.
Smart policies can cut bills and speed up the energy transition.

It's going to be a lot easier to decarbonize heating if we bring down electricity prices.
That's the focus of Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP)'s two papers out today: how to make electricity cheaper, especially for households.

Proud to work with people who bring serious & practical suggestions to the challenge of making electricity cheaper, and accelerating the energy transition. 🙌💪
Important article which makes the obvious point that climate change is happening, the 'underlying foundational tailwinds have not changed' and 'there is a tremendous demand for energy'. All meaning there is money to be made shifting to safer, healthier and more efficient systems. on.ft.com/4nwFfdi

“California is so far using forty per cent less natural gas to generate electricity than it did in 2023, which is the single most hopeful statistic I’ve seen in four decades of writing about the climate crisis.”

Thank you @ericholthaus.com I have been waiting for this analysis of the role of climate change, and recognition of the “trend towards increasing atmospheric moisture content globally as the world warms and the air can hold more water vapor”. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Barbara Kingsolver is so inspiring. I couldn’t love this woman and her writing and her actions more: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...
🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars.

Important Big Read on China's electrification and huge grid investment. Western countries have progressed on decarbonising electricity but are lagging on wider system electrification, which is where true energy security lies.
