@Akshay that's a billion saved Vs if we had no green generation I think, as opposed to Vs last year? (As I read the title)

@aturff

Yes, I think you're right, that's how I read the article instead of the headline.

Eyeballing it, it looks like 200M compared to last year and 600M compared to 2013-2014.

And gas setting the price of electricity 25% less often since 2022 is valuable too (to consumers, not power companies)!
