Two Tier Energy Tariffs
Two tier policing is to immigration policy as two tier energy tariffs are to zero carbon policies.
As Britain becomes ever more reliant upon weather dependent renewables to supply electricity to the grid, it will mean people in the densely populated south east having to pay more for electricity than other more sparsely populated regions. The Telegraph explains:
National Grid executives have warned of blackouts before the end of the decade unless the South East pays more for power than other regions.
In private conversations with the energy industry, executives from the Grid’s Electricity System Operator (ESO) claimed the network was becoming so congested that “there will be blackouts in the South East by 2028”, one industry source claimed.
They blamed the looming threat on the switch to less predictable wind and solar power, coupled with outdated market rules that critics say are exacerbating bottlenecks.
The ESO is campaigning to introduce so-called zonal pricing where power suppliers can be paid more in the South East than elsewhere if demand is higher.
A second energy industry source confirmed that the ESO is “very worried about keeping the lights on” in the region, adding that the possibility of blackouts was “credible” in the coming years if the problem was not addressed.
This doesn’t mean that people in the south east will pay more for electricity to improve their supply. What it means is that people in the south east will pay more for electricity when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining because, quite simply, there are more of them, and their contribution to demand is thus higher! They are also in the wrong place. The government, in their wisdom, built a large part of its fleet of wind turbines in the far flung Scottish highlands and islands, and off the north sea coasts, where energy is not needed so much, thinking that it could supply England and the south with ‘clean’ energy where it is needed most. But then they realised that doing this, transporting energy hundreds of miles south from widely dispersed wind farms in Scotland and the north sea, was very costly and introduced enormous grid stability issues.
Oh dear, too late, people in the south east of England are now being told that what they really need is ‘clean’ energy produced closer to home, but in the meantime, they’re going to have to endure two tier energy pricing in order to discourage them from using so much when demand is high and supply is low:
Electricity supply from renewables such wind and solar is set to rocket higher this decade as the Government pushes to make the power grid net zero by 2030.
But with many of Britain’s offshore wind farms being built far from the main areas of demand such as London, this will also require massive investment in grid infrastructure to ensure power can be efficiently moved around the country.
Experts and the ESO have argued this is being hindered by existing grid arrangements, where the whole of Britain operates as one electricity market.
The current system largely ignores the realities of how much power can be moved from North to South, owing to physical limits on the capacity of transmission cables.
It also forces the ESO to balance the system to keep the lights on, for example, by paying wind farms to stop generating in Scotland while also paying gas-fired plants in the South to switch on[!!]. It must often make these decisions within a one-hour window and at large expense to consumers.
Jason Mann, an energy expert at FTI Consulting who carried out a study for the Government on the electricity market last year, warned that balancing the South East would become increasingly difficult in the coming years as the grid grows more constrained.
He said: “As we go to a more intermittent renewables-based system, the challenges of balancing the grid are only going to become greater, particularly under the current national pricing regime.”
The issue has prompted the Government to weigh major changes to the electricity market, potentially by splitting it into regional zones that would each have their own electricity price.
This would encourage power companies to build plants closer to where electricity is needed.
You can’t make this shit up. Net Zero now means two tier electricity pricing, whilst mass immigration means two tier policing and two tier justice; for instance in Birmingham, where the police deliberately stood down their force to allow ‘community leaders’ to put their own vigilante Muslim thugs onto the streets in order to beat up suspect ‘far right’ patriots with the wrong colour skin; for instance where machete murderers are being let out of prison early in order to make space for jailing fast-tracked ‘far right’ anti-immigration protestors and wrong-speakers on Facebook. England is well and truly fooked.
They couldn’t get much further from the main centres of population than beautiful Caithness which is now carpeted in pointless wind farms. Don’t lose sight of the fact that there is no need whatsoever to reduce CO2 emissions as the global warming effect of atmospheric CO2 is already saturated. The only reason that they push ahead with their Net Zero charade is because the ulterior purpose of Net Zero is to wreck the economy, deindustrialise and create deliberate food shortages.
Tell them they only have to look at Australia. To get power from clean energy we will require at least 18,000kms of new poles and wires estimated cost to public along with green subsidies will be 1.5 trillion, some say up to 3 trillion. Also the loss of arable farm land and the lack of responsible environmental concerns. Putting offshore wind farms in whale meat gratin paths or in rock lobster breeding grounds not to mention ripping up rainforests. These people aren’t greenies more like environmental vandals. Here we call them watermelons- green on the outside, and red on the inside.
