Do you have it set to come on over night if it drops below 17? I’ve never really understood people running the heating when they are in bed just uses winter duvet!

No evening schedule right now is 5pm-10pm 17C
In winter I will bump that to 21C
Morning schedule is 6am-8am 10C, will bump that to 20C in winter
We set our "off" temperature to 16C. Even when it was -6C overnight last winter it never kicked in.
We're:
0600-0715: 19C // 0715-1600: 16C // 1600-2100: 19C // 2100: 16C (Weekday)
0700-0900: 19C // 0900-1500: 16C // 1500-2200: 19C // 2200: 16C (Weekend)

I used to do similar
I changed as we found that spring/autumn you could quite often get that low very early morning that fell to say 14, but that would quickly go up once the sun was out. heating to say 17 and then end up hitting 20 by mid morning seemed daft!

UK weighs one-off increase to energy price cap to aid suppliers
Britain's energy regulator is considering a one-off increase to its price cap on energy bills to reduce the risk of suppliers going bust amid record levels of customer energy debt, it said on Thursday, in a proposal condemned by consumer campaigners.

Hilarious isn't it. Instead of letting poorly run companies fail and the debt written off and soaked up by the investors / share-holders (in some instances, foreign entities); let the wider UK public household energy customers prop it up. Privatisation really has done a number within the utilities sector of the UK (especially England). Utter scam.
It's great owning a company that probably should be public.
Because you have a captive customer base just tap the for more because they have become too indebted. What's SSEs dividend again?
Today is first day I flipped my study room from off to auto. It's always the first room in the house to go on.
It was 17 this morning and I have it on 21c during work hours. Feels much nicer now.
Looks like by the weekend the entire house will be on winter mode settings

It's clear Ofcom is working for the energy firms, not us.UK weighs one-off increase to energy price cap to aid suppliers

It's tipping over into being the people's enemy.

Edit: isn’t this just the obvious consequence of energy companies from being prevented from installing pre-payment meters in home that are just building more and more debt?

Better still, tapping up your non-customers too!Because you have a captive customer base just tap the for more because they have become too indebted. What's SSEs dividend again?
I've noticed the gas and electric princes have shot up in the last few days for those of us on the tracker.
I wonder if its to do with the Israeli war? As long as it doesn't go over the red line for more than a week I'll stick to it.

When people can't pay their bills putting the price up shouldn't be the first response.

The article is utter nonsense even at face value. OFGEM have been "adjusting" the standing charge for years to "compensate" for x, y ,z.
One-off, my garden path!
One-off, my garden path!
I'm sorry but why do we as a customer base have to foot the possible bill for a company that could mayhaps possibly go bust?
If they dont go bust do we get a refund?
Utterly ridiculous article 2.6Bn of energy debt... lets increase costs, what logic is this?
This country really is getting royally ****** over from all directions
I imagine we'd be paying them back this debt and they'd still be chasing the debt from the people who owe it as well.I'm sorry but why do we as a customer base have to foot the possible bill for a company that could mayhaps possibly go bust?

High quality graph that. Super useful.
The Finnish pipeline thing spiked prices really, and with low wind today that's why.

There will be double, triple and quadruple dipping as well with creative ways to offset this "debt" against operating profits, green initiatives and investment to further reduce their tax liabilities.

If OFGEM enacted their proposed policy of ring-fencing customer credit balances then it would be less relevant if poorly run companies went bust. The issue is, they backed down on that one so, when companies go bust, its the public that need to bail out the customer's balances
