We keep hearing about this "shortage of supply" and how it's all to blame for this, but unless I have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of electricity, when you do not have enough supply to meet demand the power goes out.
This has NOT been happening, AT ALL. There is a perceived shortage is potential supply, that is it. If we actually had a shortage of supply vs demand, we or other parts of Europe would be suffering brown-outs and rolling black-outs.
So it would seem it is in fact entirely possible for them to lower their profit margin in order to maintain the larger customer base. The difference being, they are choosing not to.

Going by the tracker tariff increase I'm not sure it will be worth it if you don't have an EV or battery when they put the price up.You need a smart meter and to load shift around 30% to make it cheaper (before October hike, however go will probably go up as well shortly)
.91p to £1.18 I have seen quotedDoes anyone have any details on what the predicted unit rates in January (£5,387 estimated annual bill) might be, or how many units they use to come up with the typical yearly bill?

£700M hmmh - California (half our population) investing in storage $380M ... if only we could achieve some national battery production capability (even if matching Ca hydro is difficult),
do need to decouple from China for batteries(are you listening Musk) and for solar panel production, too, otherwise we'll give them power, like russia has for gas.
They publish everything, ofgem publishes spreadsheets that you input all the relevant data and they will do everything for you.
For your question though it will be a reasonable estimate to scale the current rates up by the % of the increase that you see from average figures.
