From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Richard Lyons<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR SOME YEARS NOW, David Turver has been doing a job that properly belongs to the state. Month after month, on his Eigen Values<\/em> Substack, he takes the published settlement data and reconstructs what the energy transition actually costs us: the Feed-in Tariffs<\/a>, the hidden network and balancing charges<\/a>, the subsidies that never quite make it into the headline figure<\/a>. Forensic, sourced and relentless. He does by hand, one careful article at a time, what no government department appears willing to total in public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have leaned on his work for years. This piece is partly to say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And partly to make a confession. Reading Turver, the thought that kept returning was not how much<\/em> \u2013 it was why is this so hard to find out?<\/em> The numbers are public. Every one of them. They sit on the data portals of the LCCC, Elexon, NESO, Ofgem, HMRC and DESNZ, in the formats those bodies happen to prefer, on the cadences they happen to publish, under the names they happen to use. What does not exist \u2013 anywhere \u2013 is the sum. No department adds them up. No minister is ever handed the total and asked to defend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a while you stop believing that is an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the seventh point of the blueprint at the end of my forthcoming book The<\/em> Energy Trap<\/em>. The United Kingdom audits its money. The Office for Budget Responsibility marks every Budget against reality, and no Chancellor escapes its arithmetic. There is no equivalent for energy \u2013 the physical claim, and the financial one, behind every pound. There should be. Until there is, the cost of the largest peacetime industrial programme in the country\u2019s history remains a thing the public is invited to feel strongly about and forbidden, by sheer scatter, from actually counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not think a minister is going to fix this. Opacity is not a bug they have failed to patch; it is the working condition of the policy. A number nobody adds up is a number nobody has to answer for. If the total is to exist, we are going to have to build it ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I did. It is at subsidyclock.co.uk<\/a>, and it has been running since I switched it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top is a live counter: the subsidies paid to British renewable and low-carbon generators since 2002, in pounds, ticking forward as the settlement data lands. It is past \u00a3100 billion in direct payments alone. Add the costs that reach you less visibly \u2013 through taxation, and through the network, balancing and carbon charges loaded onto every unit you buy \u2013 and the figure passes \u00a3200 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the headline, the parts. Every figure splits into two layers that are never invisibly blended<\/em>. There are direct subsidies<\/strong>, which are measured: Contracts for Difference, the Renewables Obligation, Feed-in Tariffs and wind constraint payments \u2013 money traceable to named generators in official settlement data. And there are indirect costs<\/strong>, which are estimated: the Capacity Market, the carbon taxes, the transmission and balancing charges that the settlement data does not pin to any one generator. Each estimate carries a published attribution rule and is labelled as an estimate. Where a figure combines the two, it says so. The measured headline is never quietly inflated with the guesses. That distinction is the whole discipline of the thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it lets you look. You can see where the money lands<\/a> \u2013 the largest recipients grouped into the physical power stations they belong to, plotted on a map of Great Britain, each bubble sized by what it has been paid. You can see the cost over time, in today\u2019s money and in the pounds of the day, and as a share of the electricity bill. And you can take the lot: every series downloads as a CSV<\/a>, free to reuse, so anyone who wants to check me \u2013 or argue with me \u2013 starts from the same numbers I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of it asks to be believed. Every retrieved data point links back to its source URL, the moment it was fetched, and a hash of what was fetched. The methodology page<\/a> sets out each scheme, its source, and how confident I am in the attribution. The raw data is committed in full, so every published figure reproduces from scratch with no faith required. I would rather hand you the working than ask for your trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t pretend it was easy to assemble. It was not. The data is strewn across half a dozen bodies in incompatible shapes, some of it annual, some daily, some buried inside indirect charges that take real work to disentangle without double-counting. That difficulty is not incidental. It is the moat. A cost spread thinly enough across enough schemes stops looking like a cost at all, which is a convenient property for a policy whose total nobody wishes to defend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings me to the part I care most about. The clock is built to be audited<\/em>, not admired. If you find an error in a published figure, tell me \u2013 there is a corrections page<\/a> and an issue form, and confirmed errors are fixed and logged in public, in the open, dated. Nothing is ever silently edited. When an official source revises its own history, that is logged too, alongside the old version, never over it. The point of radical transparency is that it has to survive being checked by people who would dearly love to catch it out. So check it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A last word on Turver, because the debt is concrete as well as moral. The station groupings, the per-station Renewables Obligation allocation and the transmission-charge series all rest on datasets he compiled, each traced through to its primary source and cited on the site. Eigen Values<\/em> is the kind of patient, unglamorous, properly referenced work this whole argument depends on, and you should read him<\/a>. What the clock tries to add is reach: to take the arithmetic he and others have done the hard way and put it behind a single live figure that anyone can send to anyone, in one link, and that nobody can wave away as a vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers were always public. They were simply never added together, because added together they ask a question. The meter is running while you read this. Go and watch it, and decide for yourself whose figures to trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then do three things. A number nobody adds up is a number nobody answers for \u2013 so the job now is to make this one impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Send it. Copy subsidyclock.co.uk<\/a> and put it where the cost of energy is being discussed. Forward it to one person who would find it clarifying. Post it. Paste it into the comments under the next \u2018bills are falling\u2019 announcement. One link, no caveats, no login \u2013 that is the whole design.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the number \u2013 there\u2019s a kit for it. I have put everything you need on one page: subsidyclock.co.uk\/share<\/a><\/strong>. It holds ready-made image cards, sized for a post and refreshed every day, so whatever you grab is always carrying the latest figure. Hit Download<\/em> to save one, or Copy image<\/em> to paste it straight into a post, an email or a thread. Run a website or a newsletter? There is a one-line snippet on the same page that drops the live counter onto any page as a self-contained widget. The next time someone tells you renewables are cheap, you reply with a current, sourced figure and a picture to go with it. All free to republish \u2013 just credit the clock.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Check it, and subscribe. Try to catch it out. If you find an error, file it<\/a> \u2013 confirmed mistakes are fixed in public, with your name on the correction if you want it. And subscribe here, so you don\u2019t miss what the numbers turn up next: who is being paid, what the latest contracts lock in, and where the bill is heading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That is how a thing the government totals nowhere becomes a thing everyone has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
