Replace it with a fairer model that reflects actual generation costs and supports cheaper, cleaner energy for households and businesses.","additional_details":"Marginal pricing makes clean electricity artificially expensive, driving up inflation and punishing households already under financial stress. Scrapping it would lower bills, accelerate the green transition, and make heat pumps and EVs more accessible. This reform is urgent, fair, and backed by energy experts.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2025-08-27T21:51:22.627Z","updated_at":"2025-10-16T09:31:51.048Z","rejected_at":"2025-09-16T14:29:24.783Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2025-08-28T16:55:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for similar action: \r\n\r\nDecouple electricity prices from gas and commit to phasing out fossil fuels\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/731190\r\n\r\nYou may also wish to sign the following petitions:\r\n\r\nReview marginal cost pricing and energy bills\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/717088\r\n\r\nBan cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/728752"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
