Britons are being urged to plug gaps in doors and tweak boiler settings to curb soaring energy bills, amid fears of power blackouts this winter.
Months after other European leaders made similar announcements, in November the UK government committed to a multimillion pound public information campaign offering"simple, low or no-cost actions" to bring about"big savings".
The government has now unveiled its initiative called It All Adds Up, which outlines"straightforward" steps to cut energy use immediately,"while ensuring people are able to stay safe and warm this winter".- Turning appliances off at the socket could save you up to £70 a year, as most electrical appliances, such as computers and video game consoles, draw power continuously unless unplugged.
- Closing all your curtains and blinds at night can help stop warm air escaping through windows and reduce heating costs. "No one is immune to rising energy bills this winter," said Business Secretary Grant Shapps, who appeared in a promotional video in which he battles an elf.
