That's pretty rough. That should be about 14¢ per kWh which only a hair less than the median price per kWh in the US (~17¢).
- RobinL 1y agoYeah - unfortunately the UK has some of the highest electricity prices in Europe. Almost all households are on fixed tariffs, typically about 26p/kwh at the moment.

- hexbin010 1y agoWhat, do you expect the energy companies to use their own money to invest in infrastructure for net zero and the AI boom? Oops too late it's been paid as dividends. No, just create a levy and make the public be unwilling investors except without getting the shares nor dividends Don't forget it's also a tax for bailing out the failed energy companies
- RobinL 1y agoFWIW, here's a chart showing current prices across developed countries, showing UK is worst! https://fullfact.org/economy/uk-world-electricity-prices/ https://fullfact.org/economy/uk-world-electricity-prices/
