The prices very clearly correlate with the gas price increase following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Britain's fault is in relying too heavily on imported gas — not just for electricity, but also building heat — and not improving building standards.

European countries with similar climates have extensive district heating systems and better (sometimes much better!) building insulation. There are still homes without double glazing in Britain!

England also banned building on-shore wind turbines.
