NAO: UK grid upgrade adds £104 to bills but cuts £30 net cost

But reduced curtailment of wind farms and less reliance on gas backup should leave households about £30 a year better off. The finding highlights how grid investment is central to scaling renewable energy without worsening consumer costs.
