   @gemlog @peterbrown Wales gets hit almost as bad as we do, albeit with the saving grace that the Welsh devolution agreement explicitly allows for a Welsh National Energy Company - Ynni Cymru was set up using Common Weal's blueprint and should have its first generators online pretty soon.

     @thecommongreen @gemlog can they control the retail price to the customer?

     @peterbrown @gemlog I don't believe so. They're an asset-owner so the savings would come not via retail pricing but via the profits coming back to the public purse or through community co-owners.
