• Counter argument: the general public have also liked the choice, new entries and lower prices that a diverse range of suppliers have offered in the past decade.

    Whether that has been built on shakey foundations, possibly, and OFGEM have come in for criticism but it has meant very low consumer prices until now.

    Can’t have it both ways, either higher prices under a large conglomerate who never changes, is slow to act and has no incentive to do better or allow competition but then take the rough with the smooth

  • Can’t have it both ways

    Exactly, same for marginal pricing that everyone is now livid about but were happy with when it was driving investments in renewables

  • Except you can have it both ways because you can take away the artificial market and pay a unit price for electricity that makes sense and isn't just plucked out of the air to satisfy the most expensive generator.
