We taxpayers got absolutely fleeced again today...
"Households paid the equivalent of £2 million an hour to gas power stations today after low winds and freezing temperatures left electricity grid bosses scrambling to keep the lights on."
Notably similar occurred in 2022 when our National Grid issued an emergency appeal to Belgium to keep Britain's lights on. An oversight that led us to pay an all-time high of £9,724 per megawatt-hour (MWh).
For context, for the second quarter of 2024, the average wholesale electricity price in Europe was €60 per MWh, or £49.77 per MWh.
The energy we buy from Europe is also typically from fossil fuels anyway...
