Hybrid Generators Cut the Cost of Going Green

Date: 12/06/25

We all know the cost of not tackling climate change. We see it every day on the news, with everything from droughts and wildfires, to flooding and extreme weather events. What’s more, if the temperature of the planet continues to rise, those costs will become even more catastrophic.

Yet for many people, the cost of fighting climate change is simply too high. In the US, Trump started reversing climate policies on his first day in office, including pulling out of the Paris Agreement, citing the cost to the US economy. Here in the UK, both the Conservatives and Reform think that the cost of reaching Net Zero is simply unsustainable. 

Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, said in a speech in March that the UK cannot reach Net Zero "without a serious drop in our living standards, or bankrupting us", while Reform have been even more blunt, describing the key environmental target as ‘Net Stupid Zero’.

Going green hits all our energy bills

You may not realise it, but every single one of us is already paying towards climate action in our gas and electricity bills. Various climate levies add 16% to electricity bills and 5.5% to gas bills, adding around £190 per year to the average domestic energy bill. The levies also add similar amounts to the energy bills of small businesses.

These levies include the Renewables Obligation, which claws back £3billion per year from energy bills by adding 3.2p to every unit of electricity we use. This funds ongoing commitments to renewable energy projects across the UK. Levies also continue to support long standing feed-in tariff arrangements from first generation renewable power schemes.
