One thing that I find hard to understand is how the electricity prices in the UK have gone up so dramatically (blaming gas prices) when a large amount of the electricity is not generated from gas. Is the price being artificially inflated?

Funnily enough the price the consumer pays right now is much lower than the price of energy because of badly thought out government subsidies

I am in the 95th percentile for income (though not wealth) in the UK and here's my energy bill for December:

Daily grid charges £20

Energy used @ market price £315

Truss govt unit price subsidy -£98

Johnson govt flat subsidy -£67

Total bill before VAT £170
