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 for zonal electricity pricing in the UK, potentially dividing the country into zones with varying electricity costs. This could result in lower prices for those near clean energy projects, but higher prices for those in other areas, particularly the south. The proposal is part of the Review of Electrical Market Arrangements (REMA), with a final decision expected mid-year. Supporters claim it could boost investment and address regional inequalities, while opponents warn of a "postcode lottery" for energy bills.
