Do everything possible to lower household and industrial electricity costs — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Lower household and industry electricity costs to be the cheapest in the world not the most expensive, to attract industry and jobs and help consumers. Industrial electricity is THE most expensive in the world! Household electricity cost is in the top 4 in the world! How can we compete?! Change.

Additional details

Here is how global electricity prices generally break down: Household (Domestic) Prices: The UK is typically the second or fourth most expensive, generally trailing Germany and Ireland. UK households pay roughly double what consumers in the US pay. Industrial Prices: we pay the highest power rates of any country in the International Energy Association. Industrial electricity in the UK can be up to 50% more expensive than in France or German, and up to 4x higher than in the US and Canada.
