Original Note:
Renewables increase bills by considerably more than 25%. Wholesale costs, elevated by inefficient (peaky) use of CCGT stations, are 1/3 of your bill. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/information-consumers/energy-advice-households/understand-your-electricity-and-gas-bills Green levies, carbon pricing, balancing & network reinforcement costs - all combine to increase bills by 50-100%.
