Don’t Pay is a grassroots campaign opposing the rise in energy bills.
We demand:
- an immediate reversal of the price hikes
- an end to the enforcement of prepayment meters
- and a social energy tariff – so no one goes cold this winter
It’s up to all of us. Let’s build the strike in our local communities and #TakeBackPower.

Here's what you need to know about joining.
Why an energy bills strike?
We’re facing a catastrophe on an unimaginable scale this winter. We’ll strike to break this system that stands by while people rack up debt or freeze in their homes.
What is Don't Pay?
Millions of us won’t be able to afford our energy bills this winter. We can't let that happen. Don’t Pay exists to bring us all together, build our leverage and fight back.
