@statsguy@mas.to Anyone who has been following energy prices (as opposed to consumer prices) for the past year has been amazed it's taken so long for Eon and Octopus to jump. Energy prices have fallen a chunk, so the government stuffed more taxes and levies on it quietly. Some is getting reversed in April when bits are moved to general taxation and the ECO4 scam goes away (the one where they charged mostly poor people to offer grants to poor people for substandard insulation that wrecked their homes)

  • @statsguy@mas.to The long term CfD prices for new stuff strongly suggest it'll be down to 6p/kWh for flat rate solar in a couple of years. Time based exports can still earn good money though - and that looks unlikely to change for quite some time.
