Yes and the overall price is set by the last form of energy to join the grid which is nearly always gas which is one of the most costly.

In case you fancy writing on this I am sure @centralbylines.co.uk would love an article, email Judy on [email protected]

Sam Maclaine @sammaclaine.bsky.social · 2d

Because still a large proportion of our Electricity in still generated by gas which we have to import most of these days.
If we didn't have the electricity generated from our wind/solar farms it's been estimated that our Electricity bills would have been 33% higher in 2024 🤔

Political journalists didn’t set out to become clients of power – they just slipped into it. Half-truths, soft questions and silence bought with access. Read this analysis on how deference has turned to complicity ⤵️

British Journalism isn’t even trying to redress the balance. It is a lost cause which is why the @bylinesnetwork.co.uk and @bylinetimes.bsky.social and other independent groups are crucially important. They are vital for a healthy democracy because they are doing what MSM is failing to.

British journalism has been through a shameful era – bending the knee to Downing Street.

Can it ever recover its dignity? Peter Thurlow wonders.
