Gas & Electricity

I understand the policy failings you describe but every single person I hear from on this issue is many hundreds of pounds in credit. We are still being over with this, unquestionably. And this is without the hundreds of millions of profits the companies are making
They need to adjust payments then but it is probably because charges are set to rise in April when the cap increases unless there is a huge drop in wholesale gas prices.
Can't see it unless Putin snuffs it,

Agree those 3 weeks - but before that I didn’t have the heating on since first week of March !

If we have warm years like that then Gas is hardly going to be used bar a couple months in total
Winters have been generally warmer last few years which is why that cold snap was a real shocker.
 
Just had our 6 month bill (July 22- Jan 23) courtesy of EDF. £730 for both Gas and Electricity. 3 bed semi, family of 4.

Up from £330 over the same period last year. I’d say our usage has decreased but not to silly lengths with having 2 toddlers to keep warm.

EDF and their twice a year bill is a joke, fucking hate that company.
 
Just thought I would post this today. I have said before that our son works for one of the bog energy generation companies. He works with the daily cost of gas for generation and has said for a long time that these energy companies have been taking us to the cleaners and are making huge profits. I list the latest few days of gas prices that he has been using for energy generation. I list beneath the prices for early last years.

I’ve just had our December bill from octopus for 450 quid!

The unit rate for gas is 9.84 pence per kWh. Add 5% VAT, this is 10.33 per kWh. The standing charge is 25.56 pence per day.

12 months ago, the unit rate for gas was 3.81 pence per kWh. Add VAT at 5%, this was 4 pence per kWH with a standing charge of 24.48 pence per day.

Overall, it’s a unit rate increase of 2.5 times the price 12 months ago.

Our bill has pretty much doubled annually from £1800 to £3600 even though we now use less than 12 months ago.

The bills from April are going to be frightening. How on earth can this be sustainable for people???
