they ran an auction process and the only french company, at edf, were left. to take on. how is that translated into us paying more money through electricity bills? i thought this was supposed to generate more electricity cheaply? it generates a lot of electricity but it isn‘t cheap, that is clear. it is not cheap, that is clear. it is not cheap electricity. if you generate electricity by offshore wind it costs about £120 a megawatt hour, thatis costs about £120 a megawatt hour, that is enough to light a thousand old lightbulbs for an hour. the electricity from hinkley point will be £92.50, so it is not as expensive as offshore wind but gas and coal is £40 to £50, so it is double the price we are paying. fortunately it is not all electricity, just a part of it, but it will push up people‘s bills. the government has said it is reliable, low carbon electricity. it is not depend on wind or son and we need some of this in the mix so we have reliable electricity going forward which doesn‘t stop when the wind stops blowing watersun stops shining. my annual electrici
