Current market pricing mechanism means that even if 95% of electricity used on any one day is from renewables, the price is still governed by the price of electricity from the gas fired power stations. This is completely nuts!

Plus, why the heck is our electricity price still governed entirely by the price of gas? Cost of producing a unity of electricity by solar or wind is the order of a quarter of that from gas.

The single easiest way to get Joe Public to understand the true impact of renewables on energy prices is zonal pricing. If you're in an area that produces lots of renewable electricity you pay less.
