It is not in the public interest to borrow money they can't afford to pay back to subsidise energy price increases due to lack of storage facilities in the UK.
The government should write into the law governing the issue of contracts to provide energy, that suppliers shall provide adequate storage to cater for predictable peaks and troughs in energy market prices to protect Consumers from excessive price rises.
