Comment on Tesla applies to supply electricity to households in Great Britain

electricity supply is regulated in the UK to the extent that companies cannot make money while fully complying with Ofgem rules, that have matured over the past 40 years or so.

They will either make no profit at all, or end up paying the regulator large fines all the time. I’m fine with this.

Or in true shit company fashion, promise to follow the rules, not follow them, then sue/petition the various bodies that they can’t make money unless the rules are removed.

  cool but then all the energy companies will be able to do that, so they will:
  
  enable a much more competitive market for everyone else
  
  still have huge investments to make to get a seat at the table
  
  struggle to win business because their brand is trash
