Gas & Electricity

[Claytop]

Getting a bit nippy in the house, might have to run it for a couple hours in the morning soon.

 

[Keep the Faith]

Put heating on at 45 c two weeks ago and lived as normal. 3/4 bedrooms (loft conversion) plus conservatory. Mostly Ga sapart from the usual TV, microwave , kettle, dish washer, tumble dryer and washing machine and lights.
n the two weeks used Gas 501 Kwh and Elec 77.1 Kwh.
With Octopus and at new rate £87.15 for the two weeks, this time last year 28/54 for the two weeks.
Can live with this and can probably make more savings by cutting down on washing/ drying and dish washing moving to every two days.

45c? Are you a lizard?

We usually winter in Florida so Madam is used to heat and open windows.
The temp has been switched down to 40 now to see how it goes

I’ll never complain it’s to hot again 38c only a few weeks ago but already freezing in here. We’ve not had any heating on yet and it’s 13 c today but trying to get to November before we turn it on.
Global warming not in my neck of the woods

I’d much rather be too cold than too hot. I went to see the Prodigy on the second 38c day. It must have been 60c in the venue.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Yes if it’s to hot you can’t do anything about it 39c We went out for a meal they had air conditioning on so it was lovely until we all got back home
Too cold pile extra clothes on and your fine I don’t want to give one penny more to the greedy energy company.

Just love that pile of logs with the risk of dry rot, woodworm and other pests getting into the house….

Didn’t bother reading the rest of your post, your first line had me in stitches

A slight aside, but unfortunately, and part of the major problem is we are now living with a first/second generation of people who have grown up with central heating. I could quite easily go through winter without, it was 2002 before I moved into a house with central heating and double glazing. The wife on the other hand was probably conceived in a combi boiler and has kindly passed her genetics onto the kids. As my old man used to say, put more clobber on. Unfortunately that falls on deaf ears!

They won’t fall at home though because they buy them a year in advance, what it should mean is that next year they should plummet

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Germany talking about G7/G20 moving away from gas cap pricing and more toward Euro interdependency/sharing of a gas corridor to ensure no-one is left short on supply….apparently should help to stabilise pricing without artificial meddling in the market

EuroActiv Data:
In the past days, gas prices dropped from €300 per MWh down to around €50 on the spot market. In Spain, where there is ample LNG import capacity, prices dropped as low as €27 per MWh.

Heading in the right direction…

All these prices rises once they’ve dropped will not change peoples habits in the long run, I thought after Covid we may see a change in people but only after a few months everyone went back to been selfish twats.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Remind me who got rid of UKs energy independence, remind me who closed the coal industry and remind me who got in bed with capitalist gangsters who now run Russia, to make a quick buck buying their gas.

 

[paulchapo]

I bet the price rises in food etcetera don't drop once energy prices drop.

Anyone else with EDF? They credited our bank with the government money instead of our account, im sure they said they weren’t going to do that. Dangerous game that lots will spend it on other things

We’ve had our £66 into our bank account as well today. Cannot for the life of me think this is more sensible than crediting our accounts as there are people that will no doubt spend it on other things and then say that they cannot afford to heat their homes

I’ve upped my DD by £66 so it goes back in

If they based your annual estimate on what you use surely you will be overpaying by £66?
