The cap is only on the price per unit, not a households usage!That can't be right.... The cap could be over 3k but 500pm would be well above that!

Not really, the more you use the more you pay.Crazyness
You don't think that the price per unit isn't at least a little crazy right now?...Not really, the more you use the more you pay.
The cap is just a representative example for people that can’t do maths. It causes more problems than it solves imo.
When you factor in the wholesale costs, no its not. Its still well below what it costs for the suppliers to buy it.You don't think that the price per unit isn't at least a little crazy right now?...
Yea that sounds pretty crazy to me buddyWhen you factor in the wholesale costs, no its not. Its still well below what it costs for the suppliers to buy it.
The prices themselves are high sure, but they have always been high just subsidised for a long time instead of gradually increasing over 20 years+.
Its worse due to recent horrible things that have happened but once the government stopped subsidising it would have went up massively to a point that most people just cant afford it anyways.
Wow.Ovo now wants £500pm for a two year fixed, makes the £350 back in march look cheap
Currently paying£250pmWow.
Keep in mind that's just the April increase not including the October one. That £160 will be closer to £260 come October time.Somethings going to give soon i reckon and i think it will be people in the streets both homeless and protesting.
Im currently paying £90 a month and im in contract until the end of sept. Think I was looking the other day and it was set to jump to £160 for me. My fathers paying £60 a month for gas and electric combined (and thats overpaying for his summer usage) but his contract ends in a month and he will see a 2.5x on his electric price (18.36p ish to 44.75p) and 3.5x on his gas (3.26p to 11.43p).
Lol yeah im well aware, it's my job after allKeep in mind that's just the April increase not including the October one. That £160 will be closer to £260 come October time.
This is assuming you are on standard price cap at the £160.
Come September time you will either be on the price cap at around £260 or pay MUCH more for a fixed deal. If your wanting a fixed tariff, looking north of £300+ when yours ends.
Its apparently 65% not the 52% that was reported a few weeks ago.Lol yeah im well aware, it's my job after all
The figure for myself would be if i move to the current price cap so obviously the october pain will come and maybe double itIm teetering on locking my fathers energy prices in. I've done the math on the original expected 42% increase as well as a 52% increase for october
Boris has a swimming pool!?Look what is happening in Srilanka, it'll happen here if people are pushed far enough.
Right now its not an issue for most people but once it starts getting colder the OAP are going to start dying off in droves.Are people generally putting the heating on? My gas has been around £11 for the last three or four months. And that’s just because I have a gas hob and to heat water and the standing charge. If you’re putting heating on, you’re mad! If I don’t need it on in my 1920s semi in Glasgow I doubt many others need it.
