Households with insulation and clean tech such as heat pumps and electric cars are more “energy patriotic” as they rely far less on imported fuels, a think tank has claimed.
And the Government should help those who cannot afford to invest in new technology by agreeing more contracts for new UK wind farms, ensuring homes can buy British for more of the power they use for appliances and lighting, the think tank argued. Homes with solar panels as well would use around a third of the fuel imports of a typical home, at just 6MWh a year, the analysis said.
“Generating more British renewable energy and using it to power heat pumps and electric cars would get households, and the UK as a whole, off energy imports and remove the risk of the kind of price volatility we’ve seen in recent years.
