  1. The siutation witht he Drax powerstation is also scandalous. Drax receives £300million per year of state subsidy for their supposedly 'green' technology, while also paying shareholder £330million per year in dividends. Our tax is going straight into the pockets of the shareholders!

  3. You only have to look at the dividends paid by solar and wind energy companies to see how profitable these companies are with the current model. This has to change.

  4. It is insane. The current Labour government is not doing ordinary voters any favours by allowing electricity prices to remain so high when they don't need to be.

  5.  @rupertmiller4718 Great obfuscation! The issue isn’t with the retailers of electricity, but with the producers.

  6. While on the face of it, it seems an easy problem to solve, I would argue that we should allow the stakeholders time to make a case for how to improve the system. Still, the end result has to be that generators are not paid based on the cost of producing electricity using gas, but on either a market price or a Cost-Plus basis
