1. To opinions! Solar is the cheapest source of bulk electricity in many countries, and the quickest to deploy, and now you couldn't stop it being built if you wanted to. The limits to PV build in most places are grid access, permitting, and sometimes installation labour.

Excellent thread. What a missed opportunity…..
After a lengthy review the UK government recently decided not to pursue locational pricing reforms to the electricity wholesale markets. I figured I’d offer a retelling of this saga and a few thoughts of my own. Energy nerds were out in force for this debate too so other takes are welcome. (1/n)
UK abandons zonal pricing plan for electricity
Ministers will instead explore less radical reforms such as how generators pay to access transmission network
