LondonGas explains £161 of a £180 UK bill rise.
Nesta’s analysis of electricity bills since 2020 contradicts the claim that net zero drives them.
Nesta says gas still sets the marginal price of power, and over 80% of households use gas mains.
Network costs added £72, Nesta found, mostly £46 for grid investment.
Gas reached 220p a therm on 19 October, and the Bank of England decides rates on 5 November.
