The UK’s Broken Energy System Could Burst Its AI Bubble
AI’s soaring electricity needs – projected to rise 165% by decade’s end – are exposing the UK’s antiquated wholesale power market, which already carries some of the world’s highest industrial electricity prices.

This inefficiency threatens to inflate costs for businesses and households while undermining the UK’s ability to attract AI‑driven investment. The author urges a radical overhaul of electricity transaction mechanisms to deliver transparent, low‑cost power and preserve the nation’s competitive edge in AI.
