Episode 14: Navigating the Cost of Living Crisis: Green Solutions and Affordable Energy


Listen Later

In the midst of a pressing cost of living crisis, we're back with Jim Bennett, Octopus Energy Services Sales Director, to cover the West's heavy reliance on gas and the urgent need to transition towards electrification. We explore the necessity of shifting away from purchasing gas from countries that have already embraced heat pumps, and the pivotal role that major energy companies can play in investing in renewable energy. 

We also address the many myths surrounding energy solutions, understanding that every house is different and may require a tailored approach, and how collective industry action is needed to deliver sustainable living and accelerate the decarbonisation of the UK.

Don't miss this informative and thought-provoking discussion on how affordable and sustainable energy solutions can be a reality for all, even more so in the face of the cost of living crisis.
