So a large city far from the source may have cheaper electricity than a small village near the source. Reply |

| 23. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Fri 11th Oct 2024. 21:37 Shouldn`t it cost customers more to buy power from sources further away? I`m sure I read somewhere that it does, but I assume this is only part of the price. I think this illustrates a couple of points: One - few people understand the electricity market - for example I have just read that the cost of much of the generated electricity is paid at the locational marginal price, but due to non-convexities present in the wholesale market, some suppliers may incur losses. Now I imagine this could be problematic, but since I have no idea what any of this means I couldn`t say for sure. Two - this won`t stop people attempting to make political capital. Who pays for distribution costs in other industries? Reply |

You don’t need to add/subtract 32 when dealing with relative changes - just divide by 1.8. So for example 0 Celsius is 32 Fahrenheit, and 1 degree Celsius is 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Professor Hurricane Jimmy will confirm. Reply |

Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Sat 12th Oct 2024. 09:13 Tad Allagash, Mon 7 Oct 00:01 I thought I saw some Community projects in England that were going to benefit from wind turbine/turbines being built near them. The article stated that they would get cheaper electricity because of the close proximity? Reply |
| 27. Author: desparado Date: Sun 13th Oct 2024. 04:27 Topic Originator: McCaig`s Tower Date: Sun 6 Oct 20:57 Aren`t grid charges related to transmission costs? So it would cost more to distribute energy from a source in the North of Scotland to the population centres in the south of England than from a source much closer geographically. Are you saying an Independent Scotland would have kept Longannet open? The way the UK distributes and manages its energy is a joke. It has been ridiculed by many , most recently the CEO of Octopus. Anybody who thinks Scotland…… the most energy rich nation per head of population…on the planet is getting a good deal from the spivs in WM, or even attempted to argue that we are, or attempts to justify we are “ because it might be worse if we are a normal country” ………..cringe ! epitomises why we are in the state we are in. What a weak ,meak country we are….. pathetic really. Shame for our old folks and younger generations that we bottled it… Note…. Sorry I should have said Region , not country because that’s what UK Gov’s call us and that’s what many of our citizens think we are….. and many on here too…. We are just a region, a backwater. We deserve everything that’s coming to us. Come it will. And it won’t be pleasant….Farage next ? Post Edited (Sun 13 Oct 04:38) Reply |
