I believe our electric prices are linked to gas prices. I think it's to do with it being our main source of generating electricity but I could be wrong.

Not exactly: as pointed above, in the UK the cost of electricity is set by the most expansive provider that is needed. Most of the time that is gas. So electricity cost is high because gas costs are high
