Rising block tariff or national energy guarantee system (NEG) operate successfully in many other countries and regions from Japan , South Korea and China to Bangladesh , India and California .

The idea is simple: the first block of energy, which is calculated to meet essential needs from heating to cooking and lighting, is either given at a reduced rate or free.

The cost a unit then rises in additional blocks, meaning wealthier homes with excessive or non-essential consumption pay more.

Mühlenhoff said there could be wider benefits to a reformed energy system in the context of the rise of populist parties across the EU and in the UK .

You really need to ensure that the benefits of the switch to renewables come to households and that people can see it on their bill,” he says.
