Gas & Electricity

[Kippaxian]

My bill will actually go down from October 1st (Well until the next hike anyway!)
Was paying £88 for G & E, went up to £146, now should be increasing to £186 from October 1st, but with the £67 knocked off, goes down to £119.53!

Just ran some maths on our last 12 months gas usage (17,000kwh). The last 12 months gas bill = £838.19, if we kept our usage identical it goes up from October to £1859.08 factoring in the British gas standard variable 10.33p per kwh & daily standing 28.4p charge from 1st October. We use gas for central heating and water (combi boiler). I'm getting a 5kwh multi fuel stove installed on Friday which will hopefully take the sting out of most of the gas usage over winter, i'm aiming for as close to zero central heating as possible.

Don’t be daft. The price per KWH was about to rocket until the govt capped it.

Does gas going up just 40% instead of 80% not count as rocketing?

It’s less Apollo and more harrier jump jet.

Inflation at this rate is unaffordable to most of us mate

Announcement earlier that all businesses will also be capped and therefore aided by the taxpayer. I'm not sure how the public feel that the likes of Shell, BP and Amazon will now be subsidiised by the taxpayer to heat and light their corporate buildings. I know my view!!

It is a shocking thing for truss to do , should be making tbe fuckers pay their full taxes, to lumber the taxpayers with the cost whilst those firms are pissing themselves laughing is a typical tory move

I agree. It's an horrendous burden to put on taxpayers.
All driven by ideology

Email off Octopus. They really do seem to be trying their best. Estimated duel fuel for the year is £1900. Although still expensive as fuck is a lot less than we were expecting a month ago.

Bulb still haven’t published their new tariff details, unless I’ve missed it somehow.

Madness.

Your expiring tariffs were higher than mine but your new ones are lower than my new ones. Explain that one. Not by much like but I’ve copped for a bigger jump than you somehow.

I can’t. It’s probably just a random number generator within certain parameters.

It’ll be the same as everyone else’s except Octopus, who are fractionally less.

Had EON plus round today to fit smart meter. They change the gas meter and elec meter then tell they won't work cos there is no signal in the area. Cheadle. What was the funking point of them wanting to fit them in the first place ! And how do read the fuckers now.

I, literally, posted on here a couple of weeks ago for people not to switch to smart meters!

Did anyone get this yet?

Looking at the replies to Martin it doesn't look so, although it is only from the 20th and could be the beginning of October at some point. I'll take the wife's card and check when I'm out later as she doesn't do online banking.
