And yet, the price of electricity is linked to the wholesale price of gas. 🤔😬😜

@GrahamSkeats On the one hand this is bad for consumers, but on the other it is a massive incentive for the building of new renewable infrastructure. For investors in solar farms, it's basically free money.
@jsbarretto
Absurdly, it can be the government that profits from the higher prices paid to renewable producers over and above the price that the government has guaranteed them. That is a fact that no minister ever wants to acknowledge. In other words, the price that renewable producers receive is often not determined by the market in the first place.
