A new report from think tank Onward argues for shifting away from the net zero approach by increasing gas and nuclear power capacity to reduce household energy costs, though the actual savings are smaller and it increases exposure to future gas price shocks while slowing electrification.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a market where government backing for nuclear and gas will reshape cost and supply risks in UK energy. Energy startups relying on accelerated electrification should prepare for slower adoption and heightened price volatility.
