Re: Smart Meters and Tariffs

It's not that complicated. The government has been paying windfarms to shut down at high times to not overload the grid.

If you have cheaper electricity people will use more electricity. If you tell me I have super cheap electricity, I will go out and buy an electric car thus I use more electricity.

More electricity used in the local area means less needs to be transported down to the south.

It is unfortunately for the south to have high prices but the government will save money not paying the windfarms to shut down.

Industry moves to Scotland and then they get cocky again and start an independence vote.
