09:18 AM EST, 11/04/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK introduced legislation to Parliament on Wednesday, aimed at revamping the country's energy system, introducing cheaper bills and giving households greater control, according to a same-day notice. The Energy Independence Bill will support plans to scrap standing charges on household gas bills and shift 75% of renewables obligation costs from consumer bills to public spending. Other measures include a stronger crackdown on rogue energy companies, issuing fines against landlords who fail to meet energy efficiency standards, and requiring developers to offer communities up to a 20% stake in new renewable projects.
