Funnily enough the price the consumer pays right now is much lower than the price of energy because of badly thought out government subsidies

I am in the 95th percentile for income (though not wealth) in the UK and here's my energy bill for December:

Daily grid charges £20

Energy used @ market price £315

Truss govt unit price subsidy -£98

Johnson govt flat subsidy -£67

Total bill before VAT £170
