There has been rapid growth in clean technology adoption such as EVs and heat pumps over the last year.

Over this Parliament the government will be working relentlessly to translate the much cheaper wholesale costs of clean power into lower bills for consumers, including addressing the price disparity between electricity and gas to attract more consumers to adopt clean technologies.
