Reasoning & Evidence22 Jul 2026
The claim that "The Conservatives have set out a Cheap Power Plan" is straightforwardly true. The Conservative Party has publicly unveiled and documented a policy package called the "Cheap Power Plan." It appears on the Conservative Party's official website under their "Plan for Britain" page, was announced by Shadow Energy Secretary Claire Coutinho at Conservative Party Conference, and has been promoted extensively by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on her own website and in media appearances. The BBC and other news outlets have reported on it as a named policy package. The plan includes abolishing VAT on household energy bills for three years, scrapping the carbon tax (ETS and Carbon Price Support), ending legacy renewable subsidy schemes (Renewables Obligation Certificates), expanding North Sea oil and gas drilling, and repealing the Energy Profits Levy — with a claimed saving of approximately £200 per average household. The claim being verified is simply that the Conservatives have "set out" this plan, which is a factual matter of public record confirmed by multiple sources including the party's own website and independent news reporting.

From tweet
Conservatives have set out our fully funded Cheap Power Plan that will cut family energy bills by £200, including by cutting their VAT. We are paying for that by getting Britain drilling and scrapping Net Zero policies. John Healey should take a look at it and steal our ideas.
