Ofgem approva investimenti anticipati in tre “superautostrade” elettriche del Regno Unito

The UK is finally making moves on reducing bills by reducing our reliance on Gas as a source of energy

We’re really good at installing green/renewables, but from the way our grid is set up, the cost benefits are being limited. If the government finds a way to make our bills reflect the cheapness of renewables, then it’d make a huge difference for a lot of people, making bills cheaper for people and businesses, which should help suppress inflation

> Current grid bottlenecks mean there is not enough capacity to transport the abundance of electricity generated in periods of strong winds to areas where energy demand is highest.

> This should help to cut the rising cost of paying windfarms to turn off when they generate more electricity than the grid can transport. Without better interconnection these payments, which consumers cover via their energy bills, are expected to reach more than £12bn a year by the end of the decade.

These projects were approved back in 2022, this publication is just approving them being delayed and providing them with more funding.
