In the UK, energy bills are a problem. Companies are paid not to make electricity when there's too much wind power and not enough space in wires.

The electricity grid was made for coal and gas power. It struggles to move new renewable energy from faraway places. This makes electricity more.
Regional markets might make electricity cheaper in windy or sunny areas. But other areas might pay more. This is causing a big argument.
The government must decide soon about building more wind farms and solar plants. This will affect electricity bills and energy company plans.
Some companies think changing prices by region is unfair. It might stop new renewable energy projects and make it hard to get money.
Regional pricing could save money and reduce the need for new pylons and wires, meaning less clutter and lower costs.
Some say the system helps some companies too much. Others worry changes could slow clean energy. The government must find a balance.
The UK's future with renewable energy depends on a key decision. It will affect energy bills and clean energy plans.
