It's less about the capacity, as there's plenty of idle capacity, and more about the price, the price variability, and exposure to geopolitical risks

The Irish Times, The Conversation, The Economist, Al Jazeera, SCMP, The New Statesman. But recognise that every source has a bias - I trust SCMP on Hong Kong or Al Jazeera on Qatar much less than I would trust them to report about regions where their governments are less interested.

We've a smart meter. That reports hourly data about my electricity use. I want a website where I can put in my address and get a list of electricity plans sorted by price.

And then a button that says "switch to cheapest plan".

That button must be technically possible.

The UK had full and clear pricing info at a national level from every company and every public supplier in 1899.
