Skidmore urges faster pace on rebalancing gas and electricity prices

The government should make "significant progress" rebalancing electricity and gas costs before the latter’s price drops back to pre-energy crisis levels, Chris Skidmore’s review has recommended. His report estimates a gas price below 150p/therm marks a tipping point beyond which rebalancing of prices would make a difference in giving many more households an incentive to save when installing a heat pump. Utility Week explores this and the report's wider recommendations on energy infrastructure and prices.
