Re: UK Energy Prices
It's environmentally friendly. I don't understand the concern tbh.

Re: UK Energy Prices
We dont have any coal power stations anymore, so that seems out of date.

But we do buy electricity from the continent where they still burn coal.

Re: UK Energy Prices
Same with a lot of stuff, we're saving the planet by importing stuff from halfway round the World

Re: UK Energy Prices
Weird that at the moment we are importing electricity from Europe to send it to Ireland and Norway. It's also being used to operate pumped hydro systems, which I thought ran at night to use up surplus nighttime electricity in order for the energy to be released during the day.

We import mostly from France, Denmark, Belgium etc, and not much of that is produced by coal either (esp in France).
All the current figures knocking about seem to relate to 2024/25, when we still used coal ourselves.

We appear to have a daytime surplus atm, the current [Octopus] Agile price is negative.
We are mostly always importing and exporting, due to where electricity is needed v generated, its not always possible to distribute it internally.

Re: UK Energy Prices
A lot depends on when you look at what is generating energy.
Currently, 6.6% Gas, 71.5% Renewables, 12.4% Nuclear/Biomass
