Bit of a clue here. What do you think the G in CCGT stands for ? Solar at the moment is negligible. And wind is good only because of the storms...oh, hang on....if the wind is too strong then don't they 'feather' the turbine blades to stop them going too fast ? Thank God for nuclear.Why is electricity so expensive? I can understand why gas prices went up, because of Mr Putin, and other reasons, but we don't import that much electricity, and roughly half(?) of our electricity generation is wind+solar+nuclear. So why is electricity still three or four times the price of gas? Seems a bit strange, when we are being encouraged to install heat pumps and buy EVs.
And yet it seems that It Octopus made big losses in the last couple of years.
