#zonalpricing
Right now, despite producing twice as much renewable electricity as is consumed in Scotland, Scottish Industry is paying electricity prices based on the price of burning gas in England.
Grangemouth & Alexander Dennis would not have moved south if they had access to cheap electricity

Pay more and shut up Scotland and Northern England. Sir Keir doesn’t want to upset the voters in the south. #Electricity

Why is the Labour UKGovt & many Labour MPs *from Scotland* forcing us to pay high energy bills when zonal pricing would reduce our costs? #ZonalPricing
Scotland produces so much clean energy, yet Scots pay some of the highest bills globally.

Just yesterday, Britain wasted enough wind to power Scottish homes for 3 DAYS. It cost £7,504,366.

Zonal pricing could give Scotland some of the lowest bills in Europe: youtu.be/8-WUhBtB_CM

Zonal and national pricing look the same... until a grid constraint hits. Then prices split by location. The UK's incoming "reformed national pricing" could carry zonal principles. Watch the full video out now on YouTube #ZonalPricing #UKGrid #EnergyPolicy

Quite right.
Scotland produces 1/3rd of UK’s energy and has the highest energy costs.

A huge wind farm planned off the north coast of Scotland will not be built unless "unfair" transmission charges are overhauled, the developer has warned.

Ben Watts explores how zonal pricing could have changed the UK grid response during the recent heatwave, potentially sending stronger price signals in the Southeast and reducing some of the need for grid rebalancing. #ZonalPricing #UKEnergy #EnergyMarkets #EnergyGrid #EnergyTransition

If you really want to feed your inner nerd here’s a deep dive on #zonalpricing and the impact it could have on all of us..

Of course the best solution is for energy to be produced and used hyper locally — removing the need for a hideously expensive grid […]

Texas uses locational pricing to pull data centres toward cheap wind power.
The UK doesn't have that signal so the government is subsidising data centres to go to Scotland instead. Scottish households with EVs and heat pumps get nothing. Fair?

Surely it’s better to invest in grid infrastructure to get electricity from where it’s generated to where it’s needed rather than try to relocate heavy users via #ZonalPricing?

Anyone in #UKMedia asked #SirKidStarver or his lackey #AnasSarwar about #ZonalPricing .. People in the coldest areas of the UK paying more for energy on average than people in the warmer areas??
