Gas & Electricity

[kaz7]

Got an email from Bulb yesterday. They said:

‘Based on your latest meter readings and the credit in your account, we're lowering your monthly payment amount to £33.02. We've included any upcoming Energy Bills Support Scheme payments in our calculations’.

So the govt aren’t actually putting any money into our bank accounts, just deducting straight from our bill, it appears? Better for those who did want to spend it on energy but are shit at being sensible with their spending.

Some like edf are paying the cash into our account each month ,i would rather they take it off the bill but have no choice

Do you live in a cave ?

I’m barely home to be honest. There’s only me there and I don’t use much when I’m in anyway.

The main time I’m ever home for any long periods of time is during the Summer holidays and I just sit out on the balcony for most of that. All I use is the radio for a few hours.

The £2500 is based on an annual usage of 2900 kWh of electricity and 12000 kWh of gas. If you use more than that, you'll pay more than £2500 and if you use less, you'll pay less.

They really should be clearer about this - I've had someone at work ask me the other week if the £2500 cap means he can use as much gas and electric as he wants and only get charged a maximum of £2500 for it. This bloke isn't someone I'd class as unintelligent so there must be loads of people up and down the country who are thinking the same.

No it does not work like this. Are they fecking brain dead. I have 3 teenage sons and by xmas next year I will be robbing banks. They dont understand. They leave lights on for fun, leave all their consoles on are and are on social media 24/7 Im fucked. God knows what Pornhub costs an hour the feckers have got hormones now. God help me.

Can they change a fuse? If not, take them out of their plugs.

Exactly mate, plenty of people are failing to grasp the fact the £2,500 figure is a limit the energy supplier can charge and not a “cap” for what they’ll be charged, it’s starts to sink in a bit when I ask them when was the last time they got their gas and electric for nothing .

Help what does this mean.

The £2500 cost quoted on all websites for 12 months is what a TYPICAL household would use, some will pay less most could pay more. All depends what households energy uses

Look at last years bill and treble it..........that's what they've done to mine ...very basic but close to what is happening for me

Listen pal they only come down the stairs when they are hungry or the Wifi goes off. Im giving them a choice bread and water or the internet.
The fuse option might be a good one but the buggers will soon work that one out.
