Britain's energy bills problem - and why firms are paid huge sums to stop producing power

In the UK, energy firms are being paid huge sums to restrict power generation due to grid capacity issues, pushing up energy bills countrywide. As a proposed solution, the government is considering regional electricity markets to enhance efficiency and reduce costs. However, this move faces opposition from renewable energy companies concerned about contract stability and cost implications. Striking a balance between regional pricing benefits and its potential drawbacks is a major challenge in achieving the country's clean energy goals.
