This is a quote from my Octopus energy bill
“ National Grid's constant job is to call on many different types of power: increasingly green wind, solar and hydro; but also including gas, nuclear or even coal, to keep things in balance. Because all energy generators are filling the same important function in this way,>>>> the highest price ends up setting the wholesale market price. So when gas prices are high, electricity prices from all sources are too. <<<<
This is outdated and we are pushing for change but, for now, it's just the way things work. “
