What is "location pricing"?

Jimmy Floyd
14-03-2025, 09:35 AM
Pricing zonally depending on what it costs to produce electricity there, i.e. if you live next to a wind farm it'll be cheap.

Boydy
14-03-2025, 10:05 AM
How does everywhere get cheaper if you do that?

Ben
14-03-2025, 10:18 AM
It's Octopus that are really pushing it:


If Scotland got the cheapest power in Europe, wouldn’t that mean other people’s bills would be much higher? No.

Regional pricing could bring bills down by hundreds in every region of Great Britain, with average households saving anywhere between Ł11 to Ł240 each year. In fact, switching to regional pricing could save us up to Ł53bn over the next 15 years.

People across the country, whether they live near a renewable power source or not, would benefit massively from this change because it’d make our system vastly more efficient.

We wouldn't need to spend millions of pounds to pay renewable generators not to generate, pay expensive and dirty gas to turn on, and export our renewable generation to our neighbours even when we need it, all whilst pushing prices up in Britain.

It’d make far better use of the renewables we have to: instead of paying turbines to stop spinning, zonal pricing could enable suppliers like us to create new tariffs and projects. Ones that would encourage customers to use more local power with rewards like cheap, or even free electricity.

Plus, people in areas with a lower population density pay much higher standing charges right now, so the cheaper power they would benefit from with zonal pricing would make their prices much fairer.

My brother used to supply IT helpdesk services to Norwich airport and it was absolutely wild how held together with string it all was.

Things like they obviously had absolutely miles of cabling running round the place but literally none of it was labelled or documented anywhere. So every time something went wrong and a cable needed unplugging they'd spend hours trying to work out which one it was and when they finally unplugged it something entirely unrelated on the other side of the airport would go down.

They also once had their internet go down on all their check-in desks. My brother got assigned to investigate and it turned out some manager had just taken out a domestic broadband contract for the helpdesk internet but not set up any direct debit to pay it, so it got cut off because of like Ł80 of unpaid bills.

In the meantime the same manager had driven into the city and bought a sim-based router as a temporary measure and then couldn't understand why it didn't have good signal in the depths of the airport.

They also dug the whole runway up to run fibre-optic cables to their air traffic control towers. My brother was talking to the guy who ran the project and asked him how many extra lines they'd put in for redundancy and the guy looked at him like he was talking Klingon. The answer was none, so if that cable ever dies they'll have to dig the runway up again.

Whilst they were doing that project, my brother was based on their site in this shitty temporary outbuilding at the end of a track full of potholes. They asked if - whilst they had the company laying the tarmac for the runway onsite - the airport could ask them to repair their shitty road. What actually happened was they relaid the road in runway grade and thickness tarmac, so you could've literally landed a plane on it.

This was all within a few months because the airport then decided to take their IT in-house.

Harbans Kaur Johal, 81, was flying back to Heathrow after visiting her brother in India when her flight was diverted to Munich Airport this morning.

She speaks no German and very little English and was "a bit panicked and flustered", and had wandered around the airport alone for some time, unsure where to go, her son Ajai Johal says.

Ajai says he was "really angry" at British Airways for losing her, calling the situation "outrageous".

He and his wife Jas made several phone calls to British Airways staff and passengers on the same flight who were trying to help.

Thanks to "kind-hearted" people who offered her a place to stay, Harbans is now at a hotel near the airport, waiting to find out when she can travel.

Ajai and Jas think airlines should assume some passengers don’t speak English and have policies to support them in situations like this.

Fibre optic cables are always a good one. Usual practice is to just load up the cores and run redundancy off the same cable (because the assumption is that the devices fail and not the cable), but the number one cause of failure is some half-wit putting his tools through the full cable.

Even BT are the same. They sell you a backup line and then route it all back to the node through the same ducting as the primary line.

The dog was rescued from a backyard breeder and Lily tells us, if she and Hayden hadn't taken him in, there was a danger he'd have ended up in the wrong hands. "He'd either be dead or he would be like one of the dogs you probably see on the news," she says.

Don't tempt fate like that.

If it wasn't for her maybe you wouldn't have been able to lol at them for that whole chicken in a bag thing.

Sounds an enormously difficult set of circumstances, with little wider benefit to society to be gained from locking her up.

So five police cars chased him over a dodgy light and then after his car was surrounded and he'd stopped, an unmarked police car ploughed into him at 80mph? Wot?

I'm assuming one car spotted the light and then the unlicensed, uninsured driver put his foot down. And his lass had some pot on her so the chase is on. Phenomenal decisions all round.

The best bit is he then kept driving about after the crash, was rearrested and they've bailed him. I'm sure he wont drive about again.

Somewhat related, I recently read that the Three Gorges Dam is so vast that it slows earths rotation by 0.06 microseconds.

It does seem like a hard sell. Greens will hate it because they hate technology, left nuts will hate it because they hate capitalism, and right nuts will hate it because why spend money on a fake problem. Then as you say the first hurricane after spraying some stuff will have wackos shouting that the government did it on purpose.


I'm not a scientist, I'm yevrah but I cannot imagine we truly understand the impacts of playing with the planets atmosphere and all it's complexities.

We can study it, do it a bit at a time to see how things react and it is not permanent. Wild of an idea as it sounds, it does not seem that risky.
