There's a distinct difference between making a profit to 'wash your face', and blatant p**s-taking, especially with a vital resource upon which we are all dependent to some extent or other. If ever there was a case for the re-nationalization of a strategic resource such as energy, this is it. (I can't believe I just said that!)
I'm no Corbynista, but I get fed up of having my chain yanked when private companies screw up, and the only answer to correct their shortcomings is always raise prices.
Strip out the costs of the interconnector shennanegens and we could have cheaper energy prices domestically.
The point the item makes is that the money spent on cozy deals compensating suppliers for non-availability of interconnectors could be better spent on improving the resillience' as you put it.
