I dont use central heating many winters either, I think some people are used to been bathed in heat and its hard for them to adjust so they see people like me as doing the impossible, but I was brought up in a cold house and I simply carried on living the same way no adjustment.

Yeah she isnt quite the same as me as using alternate heating sources.
Had the warning in work about potential 24hr manning of the critical sites incase we trip and cut one of the main feeds of natural gas off to the rest of the country (25% today flowed through us)
If only we didn't sell our LNG storage thinking we'd just be able to buy in gas...
It's a massive oversight, gas transmission network flows 5-8 times the energy that the electric side does. Majority of this is industrial or domestic heating. And that demand has never been added to the electric capacity.
It's gonna be a fun winter oh and over 3/4 of the areas in the UK are massively undermanned....

n111ck will be along shortly to tell you it's all just the press fear mongering.
Lol.
Ok does he know more than my area supervisor cos to be fair he knows **** all bar conning everyone around him.
But yeah the ops staff are being asked to do 24hr manning over the winter on all at risks sites (compressors and pressure reduction infrastructure).
The only problem is we don't actually have the manning to do it properly.
As can be seen we are ramping up incoming LNG

But we are bidding against a lot of countries and due to the lack of storage. Places like dynevor arms and Avonmouth shutting down.
We're relying on line packing the newer higher pressure pipelines and using them like storage
We really needed a campaign encouraging people to turn down thermostats, opportunity missed.

Currently gas is £191 per therm. Lowest in months. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cxwdwz5d8gxt/natural-gas
This article suggests:-
www.poundsterlinglive.com
“Prices per unit will be capped at 10.33p kWh for gas, which equates to approximately 300 pence per therm, and 34p kWh for electricity.”
So as long as gas stays under £300 per therm it won’t cost the government anything and the cap will stay below £2500. Is that correct?

Yeah she has heating just not central heating. Just like the houses I lived in as a kid it was the norm back then we've become too used to being cocooned in warmth in every part of the house

Can someone explain how a therm of gas can cost £191, £3, and £300? I'm confused.

So what's the current wholesale rate on electric?
Best quote we're getting on new business contract is £0.78 / kWh
But the wholesale price seems to be around the same as the government cap so I don't think we'll be due for any rebate ... so still holding off for now.

exactly .. so gas is cheap today, am I going to have a bath filled to the top/long shower, or turn the heating up to 11, I can't store it.

Finally got a partial refund of 260 ish, after this month's payments and refund now only £477 in credit. 
Does anyone know what EDF are doing re the £66 refund? They've just billed me & there's zero mention of it
You should get it back into your bank account. If you don't see it then give them a ring.
But I called them about something else yesterday and they claim their "system is down" for a few days...and yet somehow I don't believe them

I had an email from them at the start of the month saying that it was being applied to my account but I've not logged in recently to see if anything has changed but to be fair EDF are that secretive about what your balance is I doubt anything will jump out on their site until they decide to bill you?
