Generation & Transmission Losses.

Are they really this bad. So let's make it a gas, man.

    A lot of nonsense here - but that is no surprise.

    1. gas prices are rocketing, true but because the marginal electricity is entirely gas generated any increase in gas prices will increase electricity prices as well so you are stuffed either way.
    2. gas boilers banned in 2030 no, it is new gas boiler that are banned. (maybe). Installing an efficient condensing one now makes a lot of sense for the next 10 years

    Britain has limited gas storage capacity compared to many other European countries. North Sea gas production has fallen due to maintenance shutdowns and Covid limitations.

    There is low wind output at present due to calm weather.

    Aging nuclear reactor power stations are not helping as they have to shut down for maintenance.

    Many gas and coal plants are out of action due to maintenance needs.

    C.F. Industries, a fertiliser maker has shut down due to high gas prices.
