Fewer green energy tariffs offered as British households opt for cheaper deals
The GuardianSunday, August 3, 2025 at 11:00:39 AM
British households are increasingly choosing cheaper energy deals over pricier green tariffs, leading energy suppliers to reduce their renewable energy offerings. Industry data shows a sharp decline in these eco-friendly options since the cost-of-living crisis and the global energy crunch triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights the tough trade-offs families are making during the cost-of-living crisis—prioritizing affordability over sustainability. It also raises concerns about the UK’s green energy transition, as shrinking demand for renewable tariffs could slow progress toward climate goals. Essentially, when budgets tighten, even well-intentioned environmental choices take a back seat.
