Rachel Reeves has been told that the gathering of funding for the home invasion of the Budget endangers the UK’s climate goals in a joint energy companies, energy wing groups.
on a letter To the Chancellor, more than 60 groups and companies urged the Reeves not to make a harmful “short-term funding for more energy houses to pay for a reduction in energy bills.
The Guardian revealed this week the completion of a multi-billion dollar energy subsidy which is likely to cut £170 from the average bill.
In particular, the Treasury is looking at cutting or eliminating the Energy Company Obligation (ECO), which pays to improve energy efficiency for low-income and vulnerable households.
In their letter, the dozens of organizations – from the age of the UK and citizens of the friends of the friends of the land, to say that the ability to cut the ECO, to say that the ability to meet the ECO in the Carby Povety and Carbon Budget target “. They also warn that it puts thousands of jobs at risk in the £ 20bn emergy industry in the industry and supply chain.
“We welcome the news that you plan to take action to cut household energy bills in the upcoming budget, which will essentially solve the cost of living challenges and boost the economy.

Their warning comes after Keir Starmer attended the Cop30 Climate Conference in Brazil where he said the UK “by showing leadership in tackling climate and creating green jobs.
Other signatories to the letter include UK Energy, the industry body representing Britain’s leading energy companies, Disability Energy Action, Disability Rights UK, the energy saving trust and greenpeace.
In an interview with the Guardian, Darren Jones, the Prime Minister’s chief secretary, said he wants to restore commitment to green issues and tackle the climate crisis.
Those consulted on the plans say the Chancellor is particularly looking at reducing or eliminating ECO, where energy companies help pay for home improvement measures such as home improvements and new heating methods. Last year, the National Audit Office warned the deceit and bad quality Some of the works carried out under the scheme.
If the program is reduced or cut completely, the energy secretary, Ed Maliband, can choose to change the money from the £ 13BN warm plan for electricity subsidies for electricity pumps for electricity for heat pumps. The government decided as recently as June to protect the scheme, but the Chancellor is thought to be willing to see it reduce rates. The government is separately considering removing the 5% VAT from electricity bills to reduce costs.
James Dyson, a senior researcher at E3G, a non-profit that helped coordinate the letter, said the last families with reduced energy homes were “left with astronomical energy warnings” as a result.
“Cutting ECO could collapse the entire insulation industry, putting thousands of working people out of work in areas of the country that need good, skilled jobs and removing one of the best methods of permanently reducing energy bills for low-income families. It would also rob us of a key tool for lowering carbon emissions in this critical decade for climate action,” he added.
Dhara VYA, the UK Chief Executive, also criticized the changes to the housing investment fund and said it was a “bad move”.
“We have a lot of experience that shows how knee-jerk cuts in the warmer circles of customers with customer pounds and businesses with the effects of investment and investment failures and job losses.”
Dr Doug Parr, Greenpeace UK’s policy director, said:
“Government programs are desperately needed to change the strict regulations to prevent Millions of households from cold shoulders.
Mike Childs, the Head of Science, Policy and Research of Friends of the Earth, said: “It is necessary that the houses of healing the body to reduce the healings of the people to reduce the people with the cessation of the people who will cut off a hand to be warm. The Chancellor should not be warm to the people to be reduced. The Chancellor should not be warm to the people to be reduced. The chancellor should heal a person who is hurting people. We should not be hurting people who are sick.
A spokesman for HM Treasury said: “We do not comment on future changes to privacy lists.
It was also reported last night that the Reeves will announce a tax crackdown on Pension contributions in a move that could cost up to £2bn a year.
Currently there is no limit to what an employee can do with their pension before they pay the national insurance but, according to a report that can sacrifice what a person sacrifices without paying insurance in a year.
The change means employees will pay 8% of any Pension contribution above a certain level, prompting concerns that the cost could be passed on to workers.
