SSE is a winner in the great grid upgrade. Who is looking out for consumers and small businesses? | Nils Pratley Nobody doubts chunky spending is necessary to improve the grid. But how much of that money will be funded through consumer bills?

The UK does need a chunk of grid upgrade, but £80bn is a lot when there’s such a challenge with energy bills

Surely we need a clear justification for every major transmission project

If these justifications are essentially secret, it’s a huge governance fail

Weird accusation coming from a boiler lobbyist.

High electricity costs help boiler sales I guess

It is perhaps unsurprising that a boiler lobbyist is campaigning against reforms to cut electricity bills

Zonal pricing would make energy bills cheaper... Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Great Britain wastes billions of pounds switching off wind turbines & wasting energy.

Zonal energy pricing would put that energy to work & make bills cheaper.

Hello Bluesky 👋👋👋👋🐙👋👋👋👋

A lot of customers have asked us to swim our way over here, so we're dipping our tentacles in.

Give us a follow, we'll be floating around to chat all things green & geeky, make energy fairer, and own up to van printing disasters:

We can’t lead the world on Net Zero if other countries look at our high electricity prices and decide they don’t want to follow.

Great to see Britain’s “build build build” pro-renewables campaign making the case for zonal pricing.

The renewables sector puts its own pipeline at risk if it doesn’t support market reforms to reduce bills. People are losing patience.

Renewable energy could deliver British consumers some of the cheapest electricity prices in Europe.

But until we have locational pricing, we’re just paying wind farms to switch off.
