Introduce a Baseline Energy Guarantee giving each household 1000 kWh at no marginal cost, which could be funded through a fixed operational fee. Energy used above this should be billed normally. Future increases in the baseline should depend on domestic renewable generation growth.

Reform UK Energy Standing Charges
Shift all non-infrastructure costs off electricity standing charges onto company profits or general taxation. Require Ofgem to separate policy levies from true network costs, make suppliers absorb bailout and policy expenses, and ensure foreign-owned firms reinvest profits into UK infrastructure.
Introduce a statutory minimum real-wage growth target & freeze energy bills
The Government should introduce a statutory minimum real-wage growth target (e.g. 3% above CPI) for workers in England and Wales, and freeze energy bills for all households earning under £35,000 per year until mid-2026.
Scrap and replace the Marginal Pricing Model for UK Energy
Scrap and replace the Marginal Pricing Model for a fairer pricing structure with lower consumer and business energy bills. The UK is free to set its market rules post-Brexit. We think this change would cut bills, stabilise the economy, protect households, and secure the UK’s long-term energy future.
