00:01The government is set to announce plans to change how electricity prices are set, aiming
00:07to better protect households from sudden rises linked to gas markets. Ministers want some
00:12older renewable generators moved onto fixed price contracts, instead of payments tied
00:18to volatile gas costs. It's reported the change could happen within a year, with hopes
00:23it will reduce the impact of global shocks on energy bills. No savings figure has been
00:28confirmed, though ministers say it could be significant. Those in opposition to the approach
00:34say the plan risks higher costs, while others say faster action on clean energy is needed
00:39to strengthen energy security for households and for businesses.
