## Resource

On a daily basis we hear opinions on why the UK's electricity prices are so high – is it due to our reliance on gas or our Net Zero policies? This week, Andrew Sissons, Director of Sustainable Future at NESTA, joins me to discuss NESTA's decarbonisation of domestic heating projects, and how to make that transition more affordable which takes us on to power prices. We unpick why UK electricity costs so much, whether renewables are starting to bring costs down and what more policy makers can do.
