Benefits of solar electricity

Pie chart showing the what is included in our electricity bills

Geopolitical events have contributed to recent increases in electricity prices. However, another significant factor over the next decade is expected to be the cost of upgrading and expanding the UK’s electricity grid.

These upgrades are essential to accommodate growing electricity demand, connect more renewable energy sources and support the transition to electric vehicles and heat pumps. The cost of this investment is likely to put further upward pressure on electricity network charges, which make up a significant proportion of household energy bills.
