Hope yous are taking advantage of referrals. Got a silly amount over the past few days.

Is it just me or is anyone else really fed up with this constant rise after rise?
Are they genuine or are they really genuinely just taking the **** now?
It doesn’t just stop at energy either, but am I just stuck in a bubble or are these rises annoying ?

Everything is going up and I can't see it getting better anytime soon
They going to be a big increase this year in 2 parts..
I am still chasing 2k owed to me, its been a year, Just wrote them, I would like interest, opportunity cost and compensation for constantly chasing them for over a year. Failing to give me deadlock letters etc...

No doubt we will get our promised £300 reduction from energy in accordance with Mr Milliband,
However, energy costs may be on average £5k annually per house hold before we get it.
So …. 20 steps back, 1 step forward. No doubt they will claim a bit win for “working class people”.
I’m totally fed up of price rise nonsense when it’s mostly just absolute garbage now.

We had almost 20 years of "we need price rises to invest so we can have cheaper prices later " . I am shocked that people have no caught onto this scam.
Bizarre isn't it. Solar and wind are the cheapest forms of energy production. Everything is tied to gas prices though so we keep getting shafted.

“£129 off energy bills will be felt as a welcome relief to families up and down the country who are struggling with the cost of living crisis. However, this reduction won’t scratch the surface for many who will still be worrying about how they will heat their houses over the winter ahead. It...

I agree re water firms, they've bled money out of us for years with no real punishment.

They aren't cheap. The cost to rent the land is expensive (esp. farmland, where you then cannot grow crops!) and so is the upkeep.
Also the power we generate in the UK is sold back to us on the global market, so we get ripped off massively. What should happen is the areas it's installed in get local prices and actually benefit from from it, rather than it simply being an eyesore which some forign billionaire benfits from.
Windfarms are quite damaging to the environment in different ways too. They massecre birds and they aren't exactly quiet if you have ever stood near one one. It like a aircraft flying over constantly.
Solar requirements on new builds and government grants were a good idea. But that ended quickly once the energy industry realised that was bad for business...

I said cheapest, well according to anything I can find.
Some of the new approaches to tidal energy production look interesting and I see Japan has just opened it's first osmotic power plant.
Tidal would be preferable to solar and wind, there are always tidal movements.
Anyway, in the interim, decoupling green energy from the gas market would save us money.

Any alternative to octopus intelligent go for cheaper? Still on tracker for gas too.
Tidal would be great for the UK, as would osmotic power. As would desalination plants for practicaly unlimited drinking water. But it gets no funding for some reason.
We for about the past 80 years we have had very short signed a greedy (personally) politicians. They have all invested in oil and gas.

[ Fuse It's a pyramid referral scheme -- ok no - it's referral say it a 'spin' like I used to get when if I gave them my manual octopus reading, never got a free months electricity, though. ]
Smart money invested in nuclear decades back; the next bidding round on new wind-farms will determine if the mythical gas price reliance is redressed, though
(if the strike price is in the 80's per Mw then the tax payer is reimbursed)
Meanwhile tax payer is subsidising indusry energy prices too (battery factories, steel ...) to try and keep Magrathean UK ticking over.

I fixed mine with British Gas the other week, in expectation of the price raise.
Not the cheapest but I’m currently with them and it saves me paying the £100 pounds that I owe them before I could switch.
I see how people get on with fuse and maybe move to them next year if they are still the cheapest.
Looking at reports energy prices have tripled but the cost of living is still not most British people’s main concern.

whats the deal with fuse a referals? octopus was a decent referal bonus, is fuse similar?
currently on tomato for electric and octopus for gas

You are so hilariously misinformed its actually unbelievable. All your points have been debunked multiple times already in this thread as well, not that you've bothered to read any of it.

On Fuse you get £25-150 for using someones referral.
You then get another chance when first bill is paid.
So minimum of £50 credit.
Tomato is probably cheaper on electricity but on gas Fuse is probably cheaper than octopus (specially the standing charge)
Been with them a few days now and zero issues smart meters all connected as normal
