While this is worthwhile, I think that the parent post may be referring more to the "UK Electricity price" to consumers, and how this is calculated. It is related, but not quite the same as "roll out more renewables faster and so burn less gas"

> "If we actually paid the average price of what our electricity now costs to produce, our bills would be substantially cheaper."

> In simple terms: the price in the electricity market on any given day is dictated by the most expensive source of generation available, which in the UK would be its gas-fired power plants.

I support "roll out more renewables faster" and pricing reform. Linked article makes it clear that the UK has "one of the most expensive electricity markets in the world" and this impacts consumers and businesses.

Which does raise the question: who benefits from the current pricing arrangement, and why do they have the deciding vote?

Rolling out more renewables faster will mean more reliance on gas.

I am not sure how people still don't realise this after ten years of doing this and energy prices going up non-stop.
