Huge energy bills could persist until 2030 and are not a ‘single winter problem’, expert warns

Exacerbated by Russia’s war in Ukraine, gas and electric costs are at record levels

Sky-high energy bills are not a “single winter” problem and could persist up until 2030, an industry expert has warned.

Gas and electricity bills are at record levels and have been exacerbated by Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which shows no sign of ending soon.

Britain’s reliance on gas imports means that the cost of energy is likely to remain high in 2023-24.
