Hidden energy bill
Western Mail Wednesday, 8 December 2010
Hidden energy bill
SIR – Jonathan T Clark’s letter (Dec 2) raised the matters of growing energy poverty and Ofgem’s proposed investigation of alleged profiteering by power companies.
He did not mention the already large and rapidly growing covert charge to all of our bills which is made at Government’s behest to cover various “carbon taxes” and the Renewables Obligation (RO) which makes uneconomic wind power a money-spinner for its owners.
Ofgem’s 2008 fact-sheet “Household Energy Bills Explained” shows charges for “tackling Climate Change” added to an average energy bill and totalling about £80 per year. This leaflet is now out of date and the hidden charges which are not separately shown on the bill will now total nearer £100.
DR JOHN ETHERINGTON
Holy Trinity Church, mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, has dominated the Swift Valley for 1,000 years. Above is an accurate representation of the relative sizes of the church spire and the proposed monstrous turbines that will vandalise the heritage of the area.
