Good news if it pans out as predicted.

wont make any difference to uk consumers, the price is set in stone for the next 2 years.
tom66:
The Goldman prices are close to the UK cap - 100 EUR/MWh = ~10p/kWh gas, plus supplier overhead would probably make that 13-14p/kWh if no caps were applied. UK cap is 10.4p/kWh. Of course seasonal variations may effect that too.
But the UK price is only a cap, if wholesale costs drop then prices would be expected to fall below that.

:-DD just like fuel prices dropped when the vat was reduced,or the price of oil fell.
SiliconWizard:
I'm sure we can trust Goldman Sachs.

--- Quote ---The commission proposal would set a mandatory threshold for prices charged by companies that produce low-cost, non-gas energy, such as nuclear and renewables groups.
Companies would have to give EU states the “excess profits” generated beyond this level, which the commission seeks to set at €180/MWh. But member states would be free to put in place lower thresholds of their own.

Only too bad that it just doesn't go back to the customer directly.
