I don't get how they think 8kwh per day is average usage. people must not be at home and use any appliances.
Maybe she should make having an onlyfans mandatory and pimp out the country literally.
With xmas coming and 4 young children it's going to be tough we are single wage household albeit in a middle earnerAt average current price cap rates that's around £750. Factoring in the January increase more than £900.
Hopefully so.
I can't really do anything with that, if you find your annual figures (gas and electric separately) please update the thread.We use about 20 to 25kwh a day I think. Average 4 bed with 6 people.
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.
The cap references typical households with average consumption over the course of a year. This means a 2-3 bedroom property using 12,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of gas and 2,900 kWh of electricity per annum.

Currently using between 2 and 4kwh per day.....2 people with me working from home. Now admittedly that is with solar panels but our usual usage when there isn't enough sun to work the solar, is usually 8kwh per day, if I was working in an office that would actually be lower. Most of the units are during 'meal time' when the oven and stuff is on. Heating/hot water is via oil, that's pretty much doubled in cost since last refill (timer/off unless needed). And no we're not 'rationing' electric usage, we just use what we need type of thing.... the price increases still aren't exactly welcome.I don't get how they think 8kwh per day is average usage. people must not be at home and use any appliances.
Its amazing to think most people don't know or realise just how much electric they do use, they get a custom to paying money and that's that. I think my last months bill was £70 and my gas side of it was more day charges than actual gas... Might be rather different soon..Currently using between 2 and 4kwh per day.....2 people with me working from home.

The Ofgen average is probably a little low, not by much though, with it likely being skewed due to solar panel users being lumped into the calculations. Think our yearly usage is around 1650units which is average of 4.5kwh per day.
I'm more shocked when I see people with 20-25kwh usage in a day....that just seems excessively high to me unless they're purely electric for everything including heating...also makes me question why they haven't looked into solar to offset the costs (it's even worse if they already have solar....)
This does seem really high still. Just a surprise.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.
The 'joys' of huge oil/gas fields, a ready supply of hydro electric (dams), eco friendly options (solar/wind), coal and nuclear power stations.... a 'diverse' power supply chain and low taxation of energy, the complete opposite of UK, and EU to be fair.My mate in the US is currently paying 8 cents a kW with no standing charge... Unbelievable.

We average 6.4kwh a day with the wife at home all day and 2 children.I don't get how they think 8kwh per day is average usage. people must not be at home and use any appliances.
Talk of VAT cut from Truss now, saying there isn't enough time to investigate more specific options and inact that more targeted approach. Vile women, honesty.
Anyway, seems like this will save the average household £1,300, not exactly jumping for joy, I'm sure when people have bills 3x, 4x..this figure they'll suddenly be able to afford it because of Truss generosity.
How do you find this?
If VAT is cut it'll be easier than last time, but it'll still cost businesses a lot of money.Talk of VAT cut from Truss now, saying there isn't enough time to investigate more specific options and inact that more targeted approach.
VAT cut isn’t going to help businesses much though when it comes to energy prices.If VAT is cut it'll be easier than last time, but it'll still cost businesses a lot of money.
I'll be waiting for the panicked calls from companies who decided to hard-code the VAT rate into their software systems because "it's a once in a lifetime change"![]()
