Rising electricity costs

Already disillusioned

Due to ever rising electricty costs i am planning to increase wayleave payments to compensate me.
As i am not a nfu member i will not accept the paltry amount they have negotiated for wayleave payments on my behalf.
Why are we told what we have to pay for standing charges and electricity and what we will be paid for in wayleaves.
Not me, pay what i ask or remove all poles pylons etc immediately .
Please farmers stand up for yourselves no one else will.

Has anyone actually had them remove their "kit" off the land? I am seriously fed up with Scottish and Southern, an utter shower to deal with, almost as bad as Castle Water and was going to look into it. I am still on a yearly wayleave payment here and not taken the one off payment for good yet, so assume I can get the lot moved?
