Is that 12% on the utilities? because there's a significant cost on petrol/diesel too.
The turning the turbines off thing, the government paid over 500 million last year for that, these companies charge us a fortune for our power then they milk our taxes too, we get milked at both ends. |
The 12% is for the utilities only.
I reckon the £500m is right on the bottom of the scale, over the entire uk I wouldn’t be surprised if it was billions. |  | |  |

Highest energy costs in the world in it? how does that work then?
we are being played left right and centre! |  | | |

The 500 million was, if I remember, just for one wind farm. If the others were paid too then yes, billions. | | | |

I got the below from AI. It doesn’t help that the idiots in Westminster (previous governments not this one) allowed our gas storage site at Rough Field to close meaning that we have next to no ability to build up large reserves of gas and are therefore reliant on LNG at market rates, which in winter time can be very expensive, whereas a number of our European neighbours are building up their reserves on the cheap in the summer ready for winter. We’ve been led by people with no strategic long term vision and it’s left us vulnerable.

There is no single country with the consistently highest energy costs, as it depends on whether you're looking at industrial or residential prices and the timeframe. However, the United Kingdom often ranks highest for industrial electricity prices and has very high residential electricity costs, partly due to its island infrastructure, energy policies, and reliance on more expensive imported LNG after the Russia-Ukraine crisis. In some developing nations, such as the Solomon Islands, while prices may be high in absolute terms, the cost of energy can become a crippling proportion of a household's income [Post edited 26 Sep 19:56]

We are not the highest in Europe let alone the World.
Italy, Spain, Germany and Belgium all have higher electricity prices than the UK. | |

And what I found says that only Ireland and Italy have higher prices than us, but not by much, 0.05 and 0.03 USA pennies per KwH respectively.

With Belgium and Germany having the same price as the UK. These numbers being this year.
Edit, the point being though, we are paying more than needs be and that is because of government policy that, at the end of the day, is pointless and meaningless in the grand sheme of things. [Post edited 27 Sep 17:02]

All utilities in the US are private. Energy bills are much cheaper there.
Our bills are high because of Net Zero costs and green levies. No other reason. "But, but Thatcher!" no longer works as an excuse.

| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |
