Much of your energy bill is distribution costs, which is a combinational of infrastructure costs and transmission losses.
Transmission losses will be small anywhere in the UK (because it's tiny), but infrastructure costs will vary a lot based on population density.
It's cheaper to erect a few large transmission lines to London than it is to distribute power around the less dense North.
