Ofgem is talking out of their arse.

jazzyrussell.bsky.social•1 day ago

Quite so

indyhetty.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's a massive massive scam...Scotland is more than exploited.

mrspotterymum.bsky.social•2 days ago

Huge scam. We pump the energy down south and they charge us to send it back up.

Let's summarise this
Scotland supplies England with cheap electricity via 1,000km undersea cables.
England generates electricity in gas power stations and we pay for it

mrspotterymum.bsky.social•1 day ago

those cables will be have a pay as you go meter installed the moment we become independent.

It's even worse than that, we produce it, use some of it here and they send the rest south. Complete fraud that we pay higher prices because they base electricity cost on Gas price which we hardly use and say we're further away from the main population centre. Total BS!

sandratofriends.bsky.social•1 day ago

Exactly this.

jacquinotmybag.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes but did you hear him planting the seed for the next election lie from labour? That they are going to look at octopus energy’s idea that Scotlands power should be cheaper!

sandratofriends.bsky.social•1 day ago

Aye, he was going on about, oh it should be cheaper, we're looking at that, or words to that affect, but his eyes gave him away, rabbit in headlights came to mind.

Differential pricing is a choice of systems. To charge Scots more than folk around London. Or charge folk around London more than Scots. Remind me where Ofcom is situated.

It’s so frustrating 😡 they must think we button up the back…?we 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 see what you at WM 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿do…. & how you steal others resources for yourselves. We need to stand up @thesnp.bsky.social

As the interconnectors all run from Scottish offshore wind farms to England, we get charged for England supplying us through the national grid and to add insult to Injury the interconnectors are paid for by the profits we're charged for England relying on gas generation of electricity
Makes sense???

scottishkaren.bsky.social•1 day ago

We can’t

alans1.bsky.social•1 day ago

The excuse years ago was that London was cheaper because they used more. But that was before renewables. Changed the goalposts yet again. Surprised their not in a spinal unit the amount of twisting and knots they must be in.

All Liars, who are robbing us Scots before we have Indy & trying to destroy our Economy into the Bargain, the WM bastards Cowards that they are.

mccathie.bsky.social•19 hours ago

I totally agree it's disgraceful. We need independence NOW

sandratofriends.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Yip, trying to drop us in a very deep hole, they dug 4 us, making it very hard for us to get on an stable footing.

roadwarrior29.bsky.social•1 hour ago

When all is said and done, it's our own fault, we could have been free of this in 2014.....

frankieboy1964.bsky.social•1 hour ago

What do you expect, when we've a Hostile Neighbour, who have Lying Criminals as Politicians & use their own Media & Press to lie to Scots?

toplandscaper.bsky.social•18 hours ago

We need a #ScotGen (no M)

michaelpowell.bsky.social•2 days ago

Never forget that the ‘M’ in Ofgem stands for Markets - there is nothing there about consumers …

melissapudding.bsky.social•1 day ago

A severe case of the eight worse words in the English language “that’s the way we have always done it”!

sandratofriends.bsky.social•1 day ago

Indeed, normally followed by, so why do you want to change it as if it's our problem.
