Energy debt on 17:32 - Sep 26 by SullutaCreturned | 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. |  | |  |

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. AI answers 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]
