Power

The price that we pay for power is largely dictated by wholesale gas prices.  As 40% of UK electricity is generated by gas-fuelled power stations, electricity prices can also be traced back to the cost of gas.

In 2002, power prices began to rise at an unprecedented rate.  As the world economy has grown, demand for power has pushed wholesale gas prices through the roof.  The UK's North Sea fields have declined faster than predicted, so the UK has been forced to import more gas from Europe.  At the same time, the price of oil has risen massively, which has also driven up power prices.
