Octopus Energy: “An outdated energy system means the price of renewables is tied to the price of gas, so rising gas prices also impact renewable prices.”

Inevitably though in the future green energy will have to be sold to consumers at a price they can afford whilst still maintaining profitability in order to invest .

Yes which could be done via a state owned energy company that Labour proposes. That will lower prices but as you say would need to be profitable to invest. If that " profit" isn't there the government would have to subsidise it via grants and aid. The money coming from taxation etc so Joe Public pays anyway. Plus it's worth remembering that those types of state aid for companies was a complete break of the rules when we were in the EU.
