Figure 5. (a) Change in low-carbon policy cost payments for household income groups based on household energy footprint. Green bars are households that would see their contribution falling, red bars are households that would see an increase in payments. (b) Propensities by household type to be paying more or less towards low-carbon policy costs under option 2. We have chosen to display the household types which exhibit the greatest propensities to see a change in their bill. For the full dataset showing all regions, employment and household type please see the Supporting Information datasheet.
