In this special extended edition of the UK Energy Show , Greg Newman and Julian Keites break down Ed Miliband’s recent BBC interview and what it really means for household bills, grid investment, and the future of UK energy.
 
From the rising non-commodity costs buried in your electricity bill to the hidden “tax” of net zero infrastructure, we unpack the mechanics behind energy pricing and how government policy is shaping what you pay. We also dive into the promises of 400,000 new green jobs, the role of CFDs and renewables in stabilising costs, and the controversy surrounding Rosebank - the North Sea oil field that could reshape the UK’s energy balance.
 
If you’ve ever wondered why your energy bill isn’t falling, or what’s really driving government energy decisions, this episode gives you the clearest breakdown yet.

The vast majority of retail client accounts lose money when trading in CFDs and spread bets. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs and spread bets work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
