Energy Crisis

[TestMangler]

Just hope the energy supplier doesn't go bust.

Was just listening to a certain Mr Martin Lewis on the wireless.

It appears a certain Mr Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business Secretary, doesn't understand his brief and what date energy prices are capped to and from....

Unlikely, more than likely mine is one of the ones that will hoover up the clients of the bust ones. They're in for a shock when they get the prices. Not domestic, but my, standing charges have gone up by about 60% and units about 25% since last contract 2 years ago.

Thursday is pension day, so lazy 'Spoons customers can pick up their benefits then blow the lot on cheap lager.

Is it giro day too?

[WTFH]

Wow ... you won that argument yes ... a one day price drop that was introduced during the pandemic that you're using to support your idiotic vote in 2016 And on a Thursday too ... oh, hold on, 'spoons clients don't work so a Thursday is as good as any day

I did but it confused me a bit, because Epexspot doesn't show day-ahead auction market prices anything like those shown in LCPEnact - see https://www.epexspot.com/en/market-d...de=map&period=

In their data, the UK prices are often higher than the EU (but sometimes lower), but certainly not to the extent highlighted in that article you linked to. I'm very au fait with normal financial markets but not the energy market, so I'm probably missing something - can anyone help?

Its El Reeker he doesn't make sense normally.

Um no.

Gas prices are identical across Europe and the UK
UK electricity prices are higher but that's because 3GW of interconnect cables that keeps things in sync are currently broken (well 1 is broken, 1 is delayed).

As for the fertiliser plants - a lot of that is internal politics, the plants until March got subsidised gas and that subsidy went. The plants want it back and will probably get it as we need the CO2 byproduct...
