Without doubt "standing charges" are a licence to print money.
This time last year we was paying 31.5P a day combined whereas now we are paying 55.4p combined, and that's been discounted by 14.5p a day as a loyalty bonus.
So basically paying £201.65 for not using a thing.

The standing charge includes a payment of around £100 per anum to a central fund to pay the debts of energy companies that went bust.

Households slapped with £100 bill to cover cost of collapsed energy suppliers

MILLIONS of households are paying the price for failed energy suppliers. Every household will have to fork out £100 to pay for the 28 energy firms that have collapsed since last September. The Nati…

Why? Private companies, I don’t see their profits when they make them but have to pay for it when they fuck up, capitalism at its finest, get them nationalised
Until all this is sorted get rid of the green levy and reduce tax, something drastic needs doing.
 
Anyone else have duel fuel with EDF? Our fixed tariff finished in May but they won’t be changing our monthly payment until Feb 2023 when our account is due it’s annual review. I can opt to pay more but why don’t they just review it now? Seems a real cock eyed way of doing it!

They tried to put mine up by £180 a month the sly cunts.

Managed to talk to them and it’s “only” gone up £67 a month on this new 5 yr fixed rate they offered.

Being thick … but the more you pay per month .. the quicker the house gets paid off ?
 
Mines gone from £120 a month to £350. Just had a check and the cheapest fixed I can get is £640…
 
I would love to know where this is going, another 10 years time and new cars will be pretty much fully electric, given the money the Government makes in tax on Fuel they are going to have a gaping hole to fill. I guess electric costs are going to go through the roof.

Just how many (Elec) kWh a month do people use here?

Just done it was 300 kWh, so roughly 10kwh a day, bearing in mind I have a an electric shower everyday, out tv is on for around 10 hours a day, me and the wife are at home all the time. So in winter apart from lights which we use sparingly it won’t go up much until Xmas lights come on, but even now that’s going to be limited this year.
 
We’re averaging about 170kWh a month over the last 3 months, 3bed house and paying £85 a month on electric

That's the whole idea, inflate the price of electricity to give the same profit and return as oil.

I’m going to give that a go this week. Offered me 3.75% but new customers can get 2.99%. Unless they give me that then I’m off elsewhere.

I just got 2.79% on a LTV less than 75% through a mortgage broker maybe worth looking into cost £600 but over the 5 years will save me a lot more than £600 and saves all the hassle
