Restore Britain Launches “Cheap, Reliable, & Abundant” Energy Security Strategy to Cut Bills and Restore Energy Independence
Restore Britain has published its landmark Energy Security Outlook, a comprehensive 42-page Britain-first blueprint to end the country’s self inflicted energy crisis, bring down household and business energy costs over time, and restore national energy independence.
The paper argues that Britain’s economic decline is inseparable from expensive and unreliable energy policy. It calls for a return to cheap, reliable, and abundant domestic energy as the foundation of national prosperity.
Restore Britain warns that the Climate Change Act 2008 and its 2019 expansion have prioritised expensive, intermittent renewables over dispatchable power. The result is some of Europe’s highest energy prices, grid instability, industrial decline, and vulnerability to global shocks.
Without the green crusade against national prosperity, the paper notes, British energy could cost roughly a third of what households and businesses pay today.
A Restore Britain government would treat energy as strategic national infrastructure, not an environmental compliance exercise. Key proposals include:
● Expand offshore oil and gas production and support domestic shale development where commercially viable.
● Accelerate nuclear expansion, including a nationwide programme of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
● Repeal the Climate Change Act 2008 and remove associated Net Zero-related levies, subsidies, and pricing mechanisms that inflate system-wide energy costs.
● Make Energy Performance Certificates voluntary and abolish the Carbon Price Support mechanism.
● Introduce emergency planning reforms to accelerate nationally significant energy infrastructure projects.
● Introduce dynamic electricity pricing for industrial and commercial users to improve grid efficiency and demand responsiveness.
The paper also commits to publishing a new national dashboard of core metrics, led by kWh per capita divided by the cost per kWh, to measure Britain’s real industrial capability far more accurately than GDP alone.
Rupert Lowe MP, Leader of Restore Britain said:
“Britain was a net energy exporter within living memory. There is no reason we cannot be again. For too long, governments have driven up costs while shutting down domestic energy production. This paper sets out how we lower bills, rebuild industry, and restore energy independence by using the resources Britain already has. Cheap and reliable energy is the foundation of national prosperity.”
