Power can get cheaper while household bills remain high
In this episode, Anil traces the hidden cost stack behind EU and UK household budgets: wholesale electricity, taxes, network charges, carbon pricing, transport exposure, geopolitical disruption, and the unequal ability to switch to heat pumps or electric vehicles.
The episode explains Fossilflation, ETS2, the UK price-cap receipt, the clean-power paradox, energy poverty, electrification savings, and the Social Climate Fund. Sourced evidence is separated from analysis, forecasts are labeled as forecasts, and modeled household scenarios are not presented as universal European bills.
