Ministers plan to break the long-standing link between electricity and gas prices—a connection that currently causes electricity bills to spike whenever global gas prices rise, even when renewable energy sources like wind and solar are providing substantial power. Labour Party leaders, Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, are spearheading this initiative.
