Afternoon all, 

Article: Government predicts Energy Constraint Costs to rise from £1.3bn to over £7bn by 2030 - hitting standing charges by £200 a year!

Support The Regulator Guy: This is a free service, donating as little as £1 helps to keep The Regulator Guy operating

Just a quick one. I'm reviewing the new Reformed National Pricing delivery plan and came across the shocking prediction of the energy constraint costs rising to roughly £7bn without government intervention!

Above is the article I've written, explaining what the energy constraint costs are and how they impact us all. As it stands, this increase would hit our standing charges. The hope is that the Government can and does intervene before this rise occurs. 

I've also included a link to my crowdfunder page. All of the work I do is free of charge to you guys, I have no payment walls or subscriptions that you have to sign up for, but these donations do help keep the service running and free for everyone. Any support you can offer will be appreciated, thank you. 

Thanks all, have a good week!

Richard Winstone
The Regulator Guy.
