Complaint
A listener complained that an interview with a representative of Energy UK left the misleading impression that renewable energy is cheaper than gas and that the high price of electricity is largely the result of high gas prices, whereas the main reason was the subsidies paid for renewable energy. The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 麻豆社鈥檚 editorial standards of accuracy.
Outcome
The representative of Energy UK was discussing the day-to-day pricing of electricity, not the global picture, and his account of the impact of gas on prices was duly accurate in that context.
Not upheld
