And a lot of businesses have been able to benefit by shifting their electricity consumption.

They still use as much energy.

They just pay less for it.

Of course, things like heating space can be very expensive and finding ways to do that more efficiently by heating to maybe 18 degrees rather than 21 can make a very big difference.

But of course, look, the real solution is that Britain needs to escape from this dependence on the global fossil fuel price.
matched
And that means more electrification, disconnect our electricity price from the gas price and ultimately get more of electricity from British resources.

If you visit China today, what's really striking is the roads.

I mean, all of the two-wheeled vehicles that used to pump out pollution and noise are now electric.

Pretty much all the taxis, buses, increasingly more than half the private cars that are sold are now electric.

And even this year, so far, 25% of their trucks are electric.

So that electrification means that they're going to be less affected by global oil shocks and they won't have any petrol stations.

You know what?

We want to make heat pumps that work.
voice-verified
that are designed for British homes and that are cheaper to run, cheaper to install, and actually cheaper for the hardware.
voice-verified
And that's what we did.

So, for example, octopus-created heat pumps that run at up to 70 degrees C, as hot as a gas boiler, so you don't necessarily need to worry about having excess insulation and changing your heating system.
voice-verified
That sort of thing makes them much cheaper for British homes.
