Fortunately you are being in part subsidised thanks to EDFs profits in other countries :)
You very seriously need to check out news or Twitter from any other Western European country
If what was happening in UK happened in France, Paris would have been burnt to the ground months ago
Well. I don't know where you live, but I'm not paying more than last year.
I read about soaring prices being an issue in the UK. Prices, here, in France are fixed twice a year by the energy commission. Right now, residential electricity increased by 4% last February and remained unchanged at the start of August. So it means that whatever is happening in the market, is not affecting us. Actually, I will probably have 2-3 months of cash back at the end of the year.
Not really a crisis, to be honest.
However I would be very interested to know what is the situation like for my fellow European citizens !
