The predictions for next year are very scary, hopefully it will kick the government into action.

Maybe she should make having an onlyfans mandatory and pimp out the country literally.Liz Truss is giving every household a free hot tub in January

It does seem quite high. Even the October cap of £3549 suggests a daily usage of 18-19kWh if it’s electric only, more if you start factoring gas into that. I use about a third of that in my house at the moment, understandably that will go up a bit more in the winter but definitely not by much.
So what have you personally done to achieve that?
It's right across Europe, we have peaked, time to realise and adjust
I think the best we can hope for (and is very likely to happen) is the doubling of the £400 credit to £800, and that's pretty much it. We may get a small NI tax cut but that will at best give everyone £10-£20 back into their pocket, which really isn't much
How are they working out these very high costs? -
If we keep the CAP, the electric is 70p then 90p /unit in january/April no wizardry.
the concept of a CAP does not exist in DE , maybe they bought their energy further in advance , rather than lastminute12months as the cap permits, need some blue-sky thinking by the conservatives (&labour)
On top of the poor help for UK households have to remember we also start from being poorer than EU counterparts - double whammy.
those 45K middle income are 9% poorer than de/fr, poorer families 20% less - that's inequality.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

As said - and your eco credentials are ? no flights. no vehicle use ... saving the planet starts at home.

The cap is based on a daily average of 7.95 kW-h and 32.88 kW-h of gas.
If you electric only that will be higher, but the cap isn't based on electric only users. Basicly they are even more shafted if they don't have a good ground souced heat pump and good insulation.
In an ideal world, unfortunately, to go green costs a hell of a lot more and unfortunately there are a hell of a lot more poor people who can't achieve those goals.
Then we get into education etc.
Only the government and the manufacturers and distributors can alter those costs.
Money makes everything tick and going green is only available to the few due to this.
I'd love to know the thought process of that person, he had the foresight of Nostradamus. I like to think i have pretty good foresight, but i would have bulked at the thought of locking myself into higher traff prices than i was paying at the time back in Sep 2021. He must have had pretty solid intelligence something like this was going to happen.
From memory November 2021 was when I first heard mumblings in mainstream news about potential significant increases in energy costs.
What's your actual usage for gas and electricity in kWh?
Tell me about it. It's ****** crazy
Me for Jan 2022
E was 700kwh
G was 2500kwh. ( Heating on 5-7am &5-7pm)
This year I know is well be less maybe 30% less
We use about 20 to 25kwh a day I think. Average 4 bed with 6 people.
At average current price cap rates that's around £750. Factoring in the January increase more than £900.
Hopefully so.
