Our electricity bills have lost any relationship with the real costs of generating and distributing electrons. The whole point is to provide dividends to the government, so they’re effectively taxation by other means

If you feel like your Electricity bill is out of control – it is. Prices are up 11.5% this year alone. Prices are up 21% from 2023, with the majority of the increase happening since June 2024. Don’t worry though – the government is planning on adding to your bill with a new tax!
