That's based on the assumption that the government are actually going to do anything to help people come October
This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

That's based on the assumption that the government are actually going to do anything to help people come October
They are? That’s what the past few pages in this thread have been about
Soldato
They've said they are, given their track record I'm sure you'll forgive me for having my reservations as far as trusting them to deliver
You’re too late to be cynical. The support packages are already in place and energy suppliers are already putting out information to customers detailing the newly subsidised price cap.
Soldato
Someone has already posted on the previous page that the government has only committed to 3 month contracts with the suppliers, they also have form for major u-turns. I don't necessarily think they're going to do so in this case, but it's hardly outside the realms of possibility.
Soldato
Three months is in case the gas price collapses in the new year. Possibly unlikely but feasible. Like any support package you do not write blank cheques for more than a few months.
I can see another one Jan, Feb, Mar to follow but maybe the pressure lessens after that through the warmer months.
Consumers should still monitor and manage their usage in the new world of energy.
Soldato
Yeah that is based on being able to remove the support package should the fuel prices crash and we returned to some normality and thus no support to the public is needed. Not support dropped in 3 months otherwise. Completely mis-read what has been stated to make a stupid point.

Had a few messages back and forth this morning and it seems there are several thousands of customers that even after the gov price reduction will still be over the gov cap price and they agree with me that we need to make the comms clear to these customers as not to make work for ourselves and also so we arent perceived badly by not informing them that they will still be over the gov cap and they could switch. A[pparently we are already seing customers who fall into this category contacting us to switch. They are currently engaged with looking at what and how we communicate out to customers and will let me know more once they can but they have agreed with eveyrthing i've put to them so far.

They say that, but it continually ends up extended anyway as nobody wants to actually deal with it.
I'm not sure if this has been posted already, but most people will find this useful for keeping their bills down.

Yup, Goldman Sachs analysts reckon gas prices might halve
Euro: Gas Prices to Ease Through the Winter says Goldman Sachs

Although, it should be noted that only 2 weeks ago Goldman Sachs said "Gas prices in Europe would stay high" and they also predicted 22% inflation
So take that opinion with a large pinch of salt

Thanks for the update Zenduri. If I've read what you've said correctly then all Eon will do is inform customers they could potentially save more and instruct customers how to but they'll not make the required adjustments automatically? If so I'll get on the blower and have it changed so at the end of my current tariff Eon put me onto their SVR tariff.

i honestly dont know at the moment. I've put the suggestion that we just move the people to the gov EPG or at minimum advise the effected customers and allow them to 1 click switch on the website but i honestly dont know what they plan to do at the moment. For you personally just get it changed asap rather than waiting. I did have see a manager waded into the conversation who obviously didnt realise there were people that would still be higher than the EPG after the discount and failed to grasp what i was saying until i plainly laid it out to them, then they went quiet lol
I'd love to know some solid unit rates and standing charge costs. Shell don't seem particularly forthcoming with additional details, they never even told me what my rates were going to be before Truss introduced that newer cap, let alone what they'll be now.
Soldato
are you currently on a fixed price, if so what unit charges or are you on the SVT?
Soldato
Not heard anything yet from them but if it’s what others have done then expect the fixed rates to drop to 34p.
