Link to global gas price 'cheats us'
MINISTERS are under pressure to fix Britain's broken energy market and save households hundreds of pounds on bills.
Eco-tycoon Dale Vince is calling on the government to axe the “utterly mad” rule that prices renewable energy based on the international cost of fossil gas.
The UK wholesale market uses a system where electricity is priced to match the most expensive energy type.
That is usually gas taken from underground - and in 2023, the Green Britain Foundation found the price link added £43billion to energy bills, or an average of £367 for every UK household.
