More than half of the world’s population lives under an energy system that its advocates say can tackle fuel poverty, improve crumbling housing stock and reduce energy demand. And to cap it off – when properly designed – it would not cost the taxpayer anything.

The so-called rising block tariff or national energy guarantee system (NEG) are almost unknown in Europe but operate successfully in many other countries and regions – from Japan, South Korea and China to Bangladesh, India and California.

Yep, this scheme worked quite well when I lived in California. Having a partner certainly raised my electricity usage, almost to the full low-tier block. Never went past the limit in 5yrs though.
