I’m on agile octopus and my electricity costs are about half what the current cap is. I’ve been paying about 14-15p/kWh.
Anyone paying more than that currently is just pure profit for the energy companies.
Substantial fall too. Certainly feels like inflation is starting to get under control.
Which is not going to make as much as difference as it sounds. The price is going down AFTER the heavy heating season is over…
Going in the right direction, but still not enough & highly overpriced when factoring wholesale prices are basically the same as pre war prices.
It’s handy how they always drop the price when you’re heatings no longer on 18 hours a day
Ah so this is why EDF sent me an e-mail telling me to lock my price in for 12 months or ‘’risk price increases’’ absolute scammers, some scared people probably fell for that.
If anyone is interested. Rough Unit prices from Cornwall Insight:
24.5p/kWh Electric SC £0.60
6.1p/kWh Gas SC £0.31
Edited: changed a penny to a pound
12% drop in energy bills by Ofgem but increased standing charges again by 6% they want single bed/low income households to have 40-50% of their bills to be standing charge during summer.
Damn, and just this morning i got my 1.2k bill for gas/electricity for the last quarter, what the hell am i doing wrong
It’s just another con by the powers that be.
They’ve done it with petrol and diesel prices over a long time.
They put them up sharply. We moan but crack on with it.
They then drop them a tiny bit, make us feel like we’re getting a bargain.
They’re shafting us like you will never imagine.
If I’m currently paying £86 a month for gas and electricity should I see a fall in my bills as a result of this?
Thanks
But standing charges, energy poll tax if you will, are going up. Energy companies are not your friends.
