Remove the link between electricity wholesale and gas wholesale prices

Closed 59 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe the link between electricity and gas wholesale prices is unjust and anti-competitive. We want this link to be removed, so that electricity prices better reflect the actual costs of generation.
The current link between electricity wholesale and gas wholesale prices inflates electricity costs for consumers, and removing this link should reduce the cost of electricity for consumers, and make the energy pricing system fairer.
