Matter of fact modern governments seem to like this approach.That's future me's problem. Let that jerk deal with it
But cheaper in the long run than the govt effectively doing the same thing..
The public don't want to pay back the covid debt so what will happen with this..

Liz? Is that you? Good luck in the leadership raceThat's future me's problem. Let that jerk deal with it

I see the value in telling people to focus on efficiency and trying to live a more sustainable life... but successive governments - which include several supposedly conservative ones (pfft) - have made no attempt to even try to make our energy usage more sensible because anything that disturbs the parasites suckling down the last morsel this country has is anathema to them.
Are you sure? Todays politicians has no leadership, don't know what they're doing and don't seem to be smart enough. All talk though. Populism and buzzwords.

Cheaper for who?
Cheaper for the people who can already afford to pay their bills - sure.
Unlikely to be so for the people who would be ****** in a couple of years having to not only still pay ridiculous energy bills, but also ridiculously high interest on what they borrowed to pay today's bills (because let's face it, many of them aren't going to have the best credit score/affordability if they are in that position to start with)
Looking at our e.ON Next account - we're on the following...
Leccy - 29.63 p/kWh 32.14 p/day
Gas - 7.52 p/kWh 27.22 p/day
Is that competitive
?
Think we used to be on about £160pm, now on £230pm and presume that will be nearer £300pm after the next price cap increase.

Don't forget this lot will most likely be out of power in a couple of years so kicking the can down the road and letting Labour deal with the mess would suit them just fine.

I assume you aren't locked into a fixed term as that looks like the current price cap to me? If it is the price cap then prep for a doubling in bills from 1st OctoberLooking at our e.ON Next account - we're on the following...

Energy bills LIFELINE for millions as UK can freeze prices for YEARS
BRITONS could soon see their energy bills being frozen over the next few years, as the head of Scottish Power met with the UK Business Secretary to discuss a major £100billion lifeline.

Signed up to Eon Nextonline V19 earlier today. Let's hope it was the right decision.
To be completely honest, I don't really pay much attention to electric usage and just pay what I'm asked to.
But, I've recently had a Eon smart meter fitted and have been quite shocked at what I use.
I've Switched off the under the counter wine/beer fridge and am emptying a 2nd freezer so I can turn that off as well, and also stopped using the dishwasher every day or so.
So at present I'm using about £2-2.50 worth of electricity a day.
Ref what @Zenduri has posted, is it worth fixing at the V19 rate for 12 months?
I'm currently paying..
Day 34.18p
Night 17.88p
SC 38p
On V19
Day 66.27p
Night 49.97
SC 38p
What I'd rather not do is fix for 12 months and then for some reason the prices initially go up and then drop to the usual tariff and I end up paying more that variable.

Thats the gamble.
No one has any idea if the prices will drop, no one can give you advice on it. If they do drop below a certain amount anyone fixing screwed themselves over. You are banking on the prices going up and up and up.
My main question is that your on an E7 tariff, do you need "cheap" electric during the night? I'm assuming you have night storage heaters or somethin and no gas?
Its suprising to me how wasteful people in general are, I suppose its a case of being ignorant of what our modern life costs and most people just don't seem to care until it starts to impact them.
You can exit the fix with no penalty so there’s no reason not to fix imo.
