Gas & Electricity

EDF tried to move us up from £234 per month to £280.

We are currently £500+ in credit but accept that over the winter months, this will be blown away and so I've upped it to £250, which seems about right. They've accepted this.

But it does seem that across the board, energy companies are trying to take a fair bit more than they need.

Yep, and as @tolmie's hairdoo said in the post you’ve quoted the key here is that they are basing it on last year’s usage and pretty much everyone is reducing how long they have the heating on due to the costs.

I currently would be paying £275 per month to Octopus, which is reduced to £208 due to the government assistance, and am £800 in credit. I had an email from Octopus last night telling me they wanted to put my dd up to just shy of £400 per month, however I could set it lower myself but anything lower than £280 and I have to phone them to discuss. Fucking comedians, so I’ve just set it at £280.

I am though studying my usage and well aware of how many units of gas my usage varies between when in a fucking cold month or a normal month with no heating. We’ve had moderate central heating usage this month in November and I’m comfortable with what I’ve used so pretty confident I’m tracking well with the £800 credit I’ve got in place.

I’ll worry about next winter when we get to it.
