Why now
  • The Iran war has recently escalated, sharply increasing global oil and gas prices.
  • Britain's next energy price cap adjustment in July will raise household energy costs significantly.
  • Data shows a record surge in green energy adoption coinciding with these price pressures.
Why it matters
  • Rising energy bills strain household budgets and influence energy consumption choices.
  • Increased adoption of green technologies can reduce reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets.
  • Geopolitical conflicts like the Iran war have direct impacts on energy security and prices.
