About this byline
Isla Brookes is a UtilityPrices house pen name for our AI-assisted editorial desk. It is not a real person, and it carries no qualifications or personal experience. We use a small set of friendly bylines so you can follow a subject, such as water bills, across our articles.
Articles under this byline are drafted by AI using only dated official sources, such as Ofgem, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Water UK, and every paragraph cites its sources. A separate AI check compares the numbers, dates, tax treatment and claims with those sources; articles with errors are corrected or held rather than published. Some articles are also approved by a human reviewer, and any human edit is shown on the article. Automated checking is not infallible. Read our editorial and AI policy →
