🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Greg Jackson announces Octopus Energy’s Cosy Heat 6 heat pump, manufactured in the UK and costing an average 2 bedroom house £3k, potentially available FREE for some homes once government grant is taken into account #EnergyTechSummit

This is conceptually right (revenue going to EU that would have gone to UK) but a technical difference is that carbon price will be paid by EU importer rather than UK producer. (Incidence could be pushed back onto producer, of course)

Some worrying coverage recently of the falling UK ETS price, so this is very good to see. Govt will limit allowances by 12.4% next year, then limit them further to 2030. That’s a big change from the current path - puts UK ETS on a Net Zero trajectory. gov.uk/government/new…

Industrial electricity prices are uncomfortably high in the UK vs Euro neighbours. Have been for a while (was a live debate all the way through my time in Government)... How do we make them as low as possible (and could we make them the lowest in Europe)?

My understanding is that its EU importers that will have to pay this, rather than UK companies - is that correct, Sam Lowe? "From 2026 UK companies exporting to the continent could end up paying £500m a year in carbon levies to the EU as a result of the CBAM"

Working with FTI Consulting to advise Ofgem , we’ve found that introducing nodal pricing could lower electricity bills by as much as £51 billion between 2025 & 2040, resulting in a £120 annual saving per household. Read the full report here: orlo.uk/fiCxg

We should call this what it is: an assault on mixed-nationality British families. The income requirement for a British citizen to bring their foreign partner to live with them is rising from £18,600 to £38,700 freemovement.org.uk/government-att…

I foolishly decided to take some time off before Christmas, so I missed all the fun around the announced UK CBAM. Instead, I'm kicking off the New Year with some thoughts: es.catapult.org.uk/insight/what-d…
