Nimbys rewarded again. What is with every govt loving to give bribes and bungs. Winter fuel is a bribe. So is this.
> Thousands of households within half a kilometre of new or upgraded electricity infrastructure could each receive up to £250 off their annual energy bill from next year to help speed up the rollout of infrastructure critical to the government’s targets.
> Under the plan, local people could receive a £125 discount every six months as the UK prepares to build twice as much new power grid infrastructure over the next five years as it has built in the past decade.
Not surprised about this:
> The opposition has been seized upon by Reform UK, which has promised to use “all our local powers” to prevent the construction of a new overhead electricity line in Lincolnshire.
Let me guess – not the energy firms reducing prices but the government giving them our money again.
Maybe they should also be given a pair of really long jumper leads. Would charge the EV in 30 seconds, also make a nice outdoor firepit.
Surely this means that living next to a nuclear plant in the UK, I should receive a subsidy too right?
Now I know people don’t like this, but lets not pyl on them.
Farmers have always been paid for pylons crossing their land the payment is called wayleaves.
