Evidence (2024-10-08): The price increases under the EPG were softened for the first six months by the £400 Energy Bill Support Scheme. This was paid in six separate monthly instalments from October 2022 to March 2023. The government announced on the morning of the Spring Budget 2023 (15 March 2023) that the planned 20% increase in the EPG would be delayed from April to July 2023. [...] The July to September 2024 cap is £1,568, with unit prices for gas falling by 19% and electricity by 14% and standing charges remained unchanged. [...] With little immediate prospect of savings from fixed tariffs or substantial further cuts in the price cap, the only way to substantially reduce energy bills, while still adequately heating and powering homes, is to improve the energy efficiency of properties.

[...] Fact Check will consider the promise delivered if at the end of Labor's term, the annual NEM electricity bill for an average household has been reduced by $275, taking into account the ACCC and other sources, with prices adjusted for inflation to maintain the purchasing power of $275 in 2021 dollars.
Claim: Electricity Bill To Be Reduced By 22.5% !! (Social Media Users, 2024-09-26)
Evidence (2022-05-06): Some of the causes of sky-high energy bills are unavoidable – there is little that most governments can do about the wholesale price of gas itself. Fossil fuel companies make huge investments that take years to mature, breeding periods of moderate prices followed by supply squeezes when prices rocket. Gas prices softened over the previous decade and the arrival of the pandemic in 2020 depressed demand. [...] The knock-on effect to energy bills is amplified in the UK and other countries in Europe where electricity is organised through wholesale markets (in which generators bid to operate if the price is right) and in which most homes rely on gas for heating. Average home energy bills in the UK, which rose to over £1,200 (US$1,630) in 2021, are predicted to shoot up by around 50% in 2022. Up to half of the rise will come not from the gas you burn, but from the impact of gas on electricity prices. [...] It won’t happen overnight. It won’t cut bills tomorrow. But new electricity needs a new market – one which cuts energy bills at the same time as decarbonising the energy system.

Evidence (2024-09-26): Amidst this backdrop, social media users are widely sharing a claim stating that the newly appointed president, Anura Kumara Dissanayake, will reduce electricity tariffs by 22.5%. This claim has garnered significant attention, particularly as the country deals with economic challenges, and any relief in utility bills is seen as welcome news. [...] Mainstream Media Coverage: To verify this claim, we thoroughly searched mainstream media outlets and official announcements. No credible media source or news report has mentioned any decision or plan to reduce the electricity bill by 22.5% now. However, a few months ago, the previous government reduced 22.5% of electricity tariffs. Related news articles can be read here and here [...] The social media claim that Anura Kumara Dissanayake has decided to reduce electricity bills by 22.5% is false. There has yet to be an official announcement from the government or the CEB regarding such a reduction. The confusion likely stems from misinterpreting a broader campaign promise about potential future cuts in electricity tariffs.

Evidence (2019-07-25): One, the renewable portfolio standard, required utilities to generate at least 12.5% of their power from renewable sources by 2027. A separate mandate required them to reduce customers’ power use by 22.5% by 2027 by promoting energy efficiency measures. Ohioans have been paying small surcharges on their electric bills to support the two mandates. Rather than boosting these standards, which are credited with bringing 5,000 jobs to Ohio in 2018 alone, HB 6 guts them. The surcharges are eliminated; the renewable portfolio target is reduced to 8.5% immediately and will be eliminated in 2027. The energy efficiency requirement is similarly phased out.

Evidence (2024-07-18): Energy Efficiency Standard (R.C. 4928.66-4928.6615). Along with the scaling back of the state RPS, HB 6 entirely eliminated Ohio’s energy efficiency resource standard and funds for electric utility efficiency programs starting on January 1, 2021. The PUCO subsequently issued an order requiring implementation of these provisions through a "winding-down" of existing efficiency programs after September 30, 2020.[5] Although the legislative discussion of HB 6 had contemplated that the electric utilities would still be able to seek approval for "voluntary" efficiency programs (similar to existing demand-side management programs run by Ohio’s major natural gas distribution utilities), the PUCO has not yet approved any such replacement programs. In fact, Duke Energy Ohio had proposed new programs to start in 2021 but withdrew that application in June 2020 after the PUCO sua sponte struck a proposed incentive payment mechanism from its application.[6] A repeal of HB 6 could restore the state’s energy savings targets, which originally targeted a cumulative reduction of 22.5% of Ohio's electric energy use by the year 2027.
