Well, certainly energy credits have helped households in the past, and we've seen that during the worst of the price shock during the Ukrainian war, and government has used them before.

But that said, we do need to look at more long-lasting value, and that's why we've permanently introduced reductions around electricity and gas.

We've invested in the grid, fuel allowance support, hardship protections, and again, record investment in retrofitting.

But that said,

Certainly government have to keep monitoring the price and look at the evidence, the trends and the pressures on households and businesses.

And we can't rule measures in and out this far from a budget on the 6th of October.

We've over two gigawatts of solar now in existence.

But nothing can happen unless we invest in our grid because renewables get stuck forever.

waiting for a connection, gas stays in our system longer and indeed costs stay high.
