Sighing at the relief of only paying £5.5k from April. What a blessing 🙌
Does this take in to account the indefinite suspension of Nordstream?
Weird that the energy production companies would suddenly become less greedy like this.
and I just upgraded to a new kettle 👍
Who writes this drivel…
There’s no point in paying attention to these articles
The January price cap isn’t set until the end of November, and April isn’t set until the end of February
There’s so much time for the markets to move still
So the tactic of “omg it could be 7,000 per year! Oh no don’t worry it’ll only be 5,000” actually works in keeping people calm then?
Running a country like a kid who says to his parents he got expelled before saying actually don’t worry he only got suspended in an attempt to get off lighter.
oh yeah such a relief now we are getting slightly less fucked by the government
As if they thought ANYBODY would actually be paying 7k. Even 3k. They can piss right off.
All well and good as long as the energy companies play ball and pass it on. Rather than trying to increase there already massive profit margins
quick, break out the wine and cheese at no 10
..& there’s the fall, as expected; it’s all about anchoring.
Whether it’ll stick though – given how much its fluctuated in just the last month – is anyones guess.
> The forecast for April’s cap is now £5,539 per year for the average household
I’m not sure “sigh of relief” describes most people’s reaction to hearing that their bills are projected to reach £460 a month.
Are these ‘forecasts’ just a gauge to find where the level is before the Peasants Revolt?
Good news for April
I knew they’d try this.
Forecast the worst scenario to make people more comfortable with something that’s still over the top expensive but less scary than before.
If this works on you, wake the fuck up.
Makes you wonder if they just change the price to keep it slightly below riot and non payment levels? Maybe i’m just paranoid.
Wahaay, it’s down to £458 a month now! Can go to sleep happy!
Don’t worry it will go up next week again 🙁
Who are these forecasters? Do they have crystal balls?
Loads of this is just taunting and threatening people with confidence tricks driving large wealth transfers and making people suffer. The energy companies are still making massive profits.
But don’t worry this is definitely not anchoring prices, not at all!
Sticking a knife in eighteen inches and pulling it out six inches is still a stabbing.
