UK electricity prices blew out in 2021, fortunately, we are now back below the September 2021 prices - at least for wholesale electricity.
Consumer, however, are paying 3/4/5x what we were in 2021 thanks to - well absolutely no idea.

Sjælland's overnight price last night dropped to about 0.75kr, but in Britain it was 2.10kr! The peak prices today were similar, 2.70kr and 2.80kr, but Britain had that for most of the day, and Sjælland just 4 hours.
Britain also has buildings with worse insulation, fewer people living in apartments, and much less use of district heating.
