Lower Electricity prices across the UK.

What the petition asks
The Uk currently has the highest cost of electricity of any country across the globe by a landslide. The rise in the cost of living is directly impacting the working class.
Reducing the cost of energy while striving to achieve Net Zero by 2030 is feasible through enhanced research efforts. However, considering the majority of properties in the UK are quite old and do not align with Net Zero standards, the adoption of better alternatives is imperative. Older properties in the UK often lack modern insulation and energy-efficient systems, leading to higher energy consumption and costs. The measures suggested by the government isn't working.
