Original Note:
The UK imported electricity because it was cheaper than generation in the UK. Interconnectors allow us to participate in continental electricity markets & keep UK consumer prices down. Costs of electricity imports have to be offset against gas, impact on BoP is essentially nil https://x.com/drsimevans/status/1820820767136731507?s=46&t=kjlWv9de2AP_AtIOxarsgQ
