<p>Interconnection benefits UK consumers through the access of cheaper power from
other countries when we need it, which enables greater competition between generators
in both markets and improves price efficiency. In the same way that UK generators
are charged to access our transmission network, continental generators exporting power
to the UK will be subject to a range of charges and taxes in their own countries.
UK generators can also benefit from exporting without paying for access to networks
in other countries. Levying further charges on the power imported via an interconnector
would reduce the benefits of accessing lower priced power from markets in other countries.</p>
