The PAYG tariff, meters and service will be provided by OVO Energy until a full Fairerpower- branded PAYG tariff is made available later in the year. (See note 4) Mike Suarez, Chief Executive of Cheshire East Council, said: “Pay-as-you-go customers have often struggled to get good deals on gas and electricity and so are more likely to fall victim to fuel poverty. “Cheshire East Council set up Fairerpower because we want to eradicate fuel poverty in the Borough. “This new development of our initiative is helping people who need it most – those who have been paying too much for their energy. “We are proud that so many of our residents have benefited from this initiative. The Council does not get any money out of Fairerpower, in fact we are investing in it. The return we get on that investment is the savings we are achieving for residents.” All PAYG customers will get: Savings of up to £67 per year on existing tariffs A smart meter and in-home display to monitor energy consumption and account balance to help customers make better decisions about usage; Award-winning service through partnership with OVO Energy, which was named Supplier of the Year in uSwitch Energy Awards 2014; A Refer-A-Friend scheme which offers a £20 Amazon Gift Certificate for referrer and referee.

  • WP 1702 Capacity Market
    The development of the Capacity Market for electricity in Great Britain Matthew Lockwood EPG Working Paper: 1702 Abstract: A Capacity Market (CM) for electricity was introduced in Great Britain in the early 2010s, with the first auctions being held in 2014. The CM has been controversial in its design and effects. In particular it has been seen as benefitting existing, often high-carbon, capacity and large incumbent generators, rather than new entrants and technologies, such as demand side response. More broadly, it is seen by some as working against, rather than for, the development of a low-carbon flexible future energy system. This paper traces the development of the Capacity Market as a policy process, with a particular focus on the influence of incumbents in that development. It is based on interviews with participants in and close observers of that process, and on a close reading of the policy process documentation, such as consultation submissions. The study of corporate influence in this case is complicated by the confluence of incumbent interests and political incentives facing government actors to keep the lights on. In the main decisions regarding the CM, including the decision to adopt a mechanism in the first place, and in deciding to have a market-wide approach, the incumbent lobby was split. However, in both these cases, the government’s decisions were in line with the wishes of, and used the arguments of the majority of incumbents. There is also evidence that incumbents lobbied effectively against a more supportive design of the CM for demand side response providers.

  • The Power of Flexibility: the Survival of Utilities During the Transformations of the Power Sector
    Research Paper Antony Froggatt and Daniel Quiggin Energy, Environment and Resources Department | August 2018 The Power of Flexibility The Survival of Utilities During the Transformations of the Power Sector The Power of Flexibility: The Survival of Utilities During the Transformations of the Power Sector Contents Summary 2 1 Introduction 4 2 The Second Phase of Transformations 26 3 The New Power Landscape 51 4 Conclusions 61 Appendix 1: Additional Notes 64 Abbreviations and Acronyms 65 About the Authors 67 Acknowledgments 68 1 | Chatham House The Power of Flexibility: The Survival of Utilities During the Transformations of the Power Sector Summary • The race for electricity system flexibility is unleashing a new phase of transformations in the power sector, for which existing companies are ill prepared. Due to the accelerating deployment of an array of ‘flexibility enablers’, the spectre of cost escalation – resulting from the expense of managing intermittent wind and solar power at huge volumes – may never materialize. New technologies that enhance system flexibility include smart electric vehicle (EV) charging, battery storage, digitalization with intelligent control, and demand-side management. Companies providing these solutions may come to dominate the power sector in the coming decades. • EV uptake is gathering pace, with global deployment of new EVs exceeding 1 million units for the first time in 2017. Smart, staggered EV charging could enable significant advances in system flexibility. By 2030, smart EV charging in the UK could be equivalent to 18 per cent of the country’s current generating capacity. Rapid cost reductions in battery manufacturing, driven by increased deployment of EVs, are enabling affordable static, grid-level storage, in turn enhancing power system flexibility.

  • Young and Carbon Free
    YOUNG AND CARBON FREE What people think, feel and do YOUNG AND CARBON FREE Opinium Research INTRODUCTION Wellies and waterproofs were decidedly in season over the 2019/20 winter period. Britain saw the wettest February since 1862. It was less Beast from the East and more Wet, Wet, Wet. On the other side of the world we watched Australian bush fires burn. As extreme weather becomes more common, people are linking them more to climate change and looking for solutions. Our latest instalment of our annual look at the consumer energy market delves into how these themes are working themselves out in the minds of UK consumers as we heat our homes and power our lives. Traditional energy providers including the Big Six continue to be top of mind amongst consumers. But their success is threatened by the changing landscape of consumerism. Brand culture, values and beliefs are now considered to be more important to consumers than brand familiarity and so being big no longer means being the best especially for young consumers. Entering the market at a time when support for greener policies and practices is on the rise, challenger brands have capitalised on their greener brand values using these to connect with consumers on a much deeper level than the Big Six are able to. This has resonated the most with younger generations, whose concern for the environment has exploded since Greta Thunberg’s ‘School strike for the climate’ and since climate emergency activist groups have caught the attention of the mainstream media. This year’s report focusses on the attitudes of Millennials and Generation Z – those aged 18-34.
