On The 12th Day Of Winter, My True Love Sent To Me: Five Gold Rings

But they weren't enough to cover the cost of the electricity bill

It’s happened, very suddenly. A short, sharp, Europe-wide Dunkelflaute which has sent electricity spot market prices spiralling into the stratosphere.

So we’ve got gas-fired power stations selling electricity into the national grid at around £3000 per MWh!! That’s £3 per kWh. Agile Octopus have capped their peak charges at £1 per kWh, so little wonder that their off peak ‘give-away’ prices are remaining stubbornly high, above even the current fixed price retail tariff. This is insane. A total disaster.

But what is even more insane is that Mad Miliband will tell us that these stupid ridiculous electricity prices are because of our reliance upon gas imports from totalitarian dictators!
