A plan to ensure energy is affordable for all | Letters

{"#Universal Right to Energy Essentials":"> Every household should be able to afford the energy essentials: enough warmth to survive a winter; enough electricity to switch on the lights and run a fridge. Chapman argues that this should be recognized as a universal right rather than a targeted system.","#Price Cap Proposal":"> Chapman suggests a true price cap on an essential block of electricity and gas, funded by the Treasury. He argues that this would be a policy from which everyone wins, especially for electrically heated homes.","#Long-Term Design":"> The long-term design of a universal offer can be debated, but Chapman proposes a simple solution: a price cap on essential energy blocks. He also suggests charging households with very high energy consumption more in the future."}
