Don't blame 'green' energy charges

Updated

Government climate change advisers predict that energy bills will rise by £190 a year by 2020. This estimate from the Committee on Climate Change is significantly lower than some estimates have been previously bandied around.

Crucially, 50% of this £190 rise will include renewable energy costs, though this cost would be slashed to just £25 if more homes had better energy protection. Good news overall?
