Gas & Electricity

Put it back down to what you can afford, cheeky feckers
Struggling to get them to alter it asked them to justify that rate with 14kwh of gas and 2.8k elec as even on new prices that is only £3k but they not getting simple maths
 
Can anyone explain how a £2500 cap works? Does that mean a 2 up 2 down could pay the same as a 8 bedroom bathroom mansion in the sticks with a heated pool?
No. It's pretty useless as a figure - I wish they'd just tell everybody what the unit rates are.

The £2500 is based on using 12,000 kWh of gas and 2,900 kWh of electricity in a year.

So you will pay more or less than that depending on how much you use.

At a rough guess, I'd say that this £2500 is 10p per kWh gas and 36p per kWh electricity.

No. The £2500 is based on the usage for an average household. The trouble is, most average households will use more so it's misleading for me. The "average" usage is something like 2900 kWh of electricity and 12000 kWh of gas per annum. There's only 2 of us in our house and our latest annual usage - June last year to June this year - was around 2400 kWh for electricity but nearly 15000 kWh for gas. Based on that, we'd be paying something like £3000 per annum with this new announcement, not £2500, so God knows how families with kids are going to get on.
