Why are energy bills going up, if there is more green power?
85% Informative
The UK has much higher electricity prices - both domestic and industrial - than other large economies outside Europe , such as the US and Canada .
Government wants to remove nearly all fossil fuels from UK electricity production by 2030 .
Gas generators often have the highest costs, because they have to buy gas to burn, as well as paying a "carbon price".
The government is reviewing the structure of the electricity market, alongside its push for clean power through renewables and nuclear.
In the long term, renewables "will be bringing down overall energy bills, and specifically electricity bills, for the UK ," argues Dr Iain Staffell of Imperial College London .
A faster rollout of renewables could mean upfront costs - for things like upgrading the grid - being passed onto consumers more quickly.
