Recommendation 14

14

Reduce policy cost difference between gas and electricity bills by end of 2025

Recommendation
We recommend that the Government, by the end of 2025, considers reducing the policy cost difference between gas and electricity bills, creating an incentive for households to adopt electric heating systems. The Government should do this carefully, recognising that almost all gas use is for essentials such as heating and cooking, differentiating gas from electricity. During this process, the Government must provide support for those who lose out due to the policy cost changes. (Recommendation, Paragraph 92)
