Baroness Coffey (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 July 2025

Debate

Electricity Capacity (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2025

Contribution

My Lords, I have a couple of quick questions for the Minister. I completely understand why trying to move off gas is a clear policy of the Government, as reaffirmed in its recent 2030 plan. However, gas is, without doubt, the cheapest way of heating a home. I want to get an understanding of what financial impact this is likely to have on household bills. I could not see anything in the accompanying notes. My sense is that it is good news for trying to get away from gas as a source, but bad news for households in the costs of heating their home and food.
