Onshore wind power is the cheapest form of power so if we can get more domestic sources of this and the ability to store it, then bills should start to come down. It must be quite a short period of time for there to be no renewables in the mix.

The big hike in energy prices was due to the invasion of Ukraine and your post neatly shows the dependence of the UK on foreign gas which we need to ween ourselves off of.
