British power prices are increasingly independent from gas
British power prices are becoming less dependent on gas as clean energy sources increase. Currently, 15% of power generation is already independent of gas prices, with forecasts suggesting this could rise to 36% by 2030. The Contracts for Difference scheme is facilitating this transition by providing fixed prices for renewable energy.
