answer text <p>National Grid Electricity Transmission plc (NGET), in its role as system operator, have informed us that the average transmission network use of system charge for a GB generator is £5.77 / kW (2017/18 tariffs). The actual tariff is dependent on the location of the generator, the historic load factor of the generator, the type of generator and details of its specific connection.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the overall transmission infrastructure facilitating the wider market, interconnectors do not pay use of system charges for the transmission network. As producers and consumers are liable for charges in their own countries, additional charges for using the interconnector, to allow imports and exports, would amount to double charging and may hinder the ability of GB producers to export electricity to other countries.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government does not hold prices on electricity imports over interconnectors. This is commercial information held by market participants.</p><p> </p><p>As regards the average price for other electricity generation, the average UK power price in the day ahead market, the most commonly cited trading time frame, was £45.01 over the past 12 months. This is an incomplete picture as power is sold across a number of time frames, from year ahead through to intraday trading, and it would be inappropriate to extract wholesale prices from one time frame and use it to infer prices across other time frames. The Government does not have visibility of longer term time frames, which is commercial information held by market participants.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
