It's still unaffordable. In March may gas was 3p and elec 15p, so in 6 months my gas has tripled and elec up almost 250%

Well, it's a lot more affordable than it would have been so just own nothing and you will be happy.
Actually read what I quoted before replying.
It's time for you to wake up and smell the coffee. Those prices are unsustainable in the long run. Those days are long gone.

They've been lucky to have those prices for the last year even, my last cheap fix ended about a year ago when AVRO died.
Yeah it's never gonna go back to the good ol days.
Will start saving for solar when eventually move. Want to have the cash ready buy. Or if there are loans/grants can put it to the mortgage etc
I think its safe to assume this 2500 cap is the new norm. Will make calcing ROI on panels much easier

I did. And you're still wrong. What was the point of your post? To add another one to your excessively unhealthy post count?
An interesting quirk of all of this
Now, the company with the biggest customer base will be most profitable.
There is little need to switch or not switch.
This might really benefit octopus. Because all being equal. I'd chose to be with octopus.

Me neither but I'm sure it'll change soon enough.
Everyone on £80k+ would have been paying 40% tax on the £30k between £50-80k. That would then become 20% tax on that amount. So 20% back from £30k of their earnings is £6k a year extra in pocket.
hopefully, my account go back to the predicted £800 in credit
£2500 cap now confirmed and for 2 years, with no additional help for the vulnerable.
It feels like they did what they felt was needed for middle to high earners only as that is going to be way too high for those around living wage and also the unemployed.
Octopus boss said we now all need to wait for the suppliers to know the finer details so unknown if only SVR will be capped or they going to do something for all tariffs.
I have tried to explain this a few times, we get a "cannot afford to renationalise, how do you pay for it etc."
But spending 75 billion a year to subsidise bills and shareholders is fine so we can keep the current privatisation model.
The vulnerable have already been helped with well over £1k of extras ontop of the existing traditional help open to such people.
Interesting I know a few people starting to get quite angry about this, my elder sister who has always been right wing, texted me about it late last night as a lot of rage about Centrica making huge profits whilst pleading poverty under british gas.
Indeed. Some people just want to shovel endless money to the "vulnerable" and in need. At this rate they going to live middle income lives without doing a stroke of work.
If you think thats enough dont know what to say. More will be needed and I hope pressure gets applied.
Oct 2021 level is the affordable level for the poorest about £1300 a year, so they need about £1200-1500 a year extra help. in 2023 (taking into account other inflation as well).
