Under radical reforms being considered by Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, the UK may be split into several different zones with varying electricity prices between them.
Ed Miliband is considering a plan to split the UK into electricity pricing zones, potentially leading to varying prices across regions. This could mean lower costs for those near renewable energy sources but higher costs in the South. Supporters claim it could save billions and boost investment, while opponents warn of a "postcode lottery" and implementation difficulties. A final decision is expected mid-year as part of the Review of Electrical Market Arrangements (REMA).
