If that is the thinking, then you'd better buy the red diesel for your generators now, while it is still available - with a few large exceptions the reduced duty rate is going in early 2022, so you will be running your home on something taxed like DERV instead.
(red will remain for the time being permitted in agriculture, forestry, horticulture, fish farming, railways and to power non-commercial heating systems such as in homes, narrowboats and places of worship.
NOT in building site vehicles, private generators, commercial heat and power plant and so on .
At the same time the reduced levy on biofuels will also be phased out, as at the moment there are some silly schemes that are not really good for the planet.)
I can see a change in duty from circa 11p litre to more like 60p is going to alter the economics of certain operations quite significantly, especially at the same time for end users, coupled with the change from 5% to 20% VAT as well.
