The Conservatives explicitly state that their Cheap Power Plan (cutting household energy bills by ~£200) would be funded by scrapping Net Zero schemes, including GB Energy, heat pump subsidies, and Renewable Obligation subsidies. The £200 saving breaks down as ~£94 from removing VAT on energy bills, ~£75 from scrapping the carbon tax, and ~£22 from ending legacy renewable subsidies. However, the framing is substantially circular: approximately £97 of the £200 saving (£75 from carbon tax + £22 from renewable subsidies) comes directly from removing green levies from bills — scrapping the levies IS the bill cut, not a separate funding source. The VAT removal component (~£94) requires separate Treasury funding, which the Conservatives say would come from North Sea drilling tax revenue, a different mechanism from "scrapping Net Zero policies." The financial arithmetic is heavily contested. Labour called the plan "a multi-billion-pound unfunded spending commitment" whose "sums still don't add up." The Oxford Smith School found that maximised North Sea extraction would save households only £16–£82/year (far below the £200 claimed), while a renewables-led approach would save £105–£441/year. The IFS and Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit similarly question the viability. Additionally, repealing the Climate Change Act entirely would reduce government revenue (OBR estimates ETS receipts at £2.6bn/year), not increase it. The claim accurately reflects the Conservatives' stated policy approach, but the causal link between "scrapping Net Zero policies" and "funding" the plan is only partially and contestably established — partly circular, partly reliant on disputed North Sea revenue assumptions.
