>But campaigners warned many households will continue struggling to pay their bills, which will remain hundreds of pounds higher than in the winter of 2021, before energy costs sky-rocketed.
My household is at over £1900 and we have our gas central heating switched of right now. We will literally have to decide which rooms to heat come winter.
I think we got lucky. Our energy bill never went over 1600 and we’re in credit about 600 quid.
The companies are going to make this cut back by boosting the standing charge so we’re not going to see any difference.
> From 1 October the equivalent per unit level of the price cap to the nearest pence for a typical customer paying by direct debit will be 27.35p per kWh for electricity customers and a standing charge of 53.37p per day. The equivalent per unit level for a typical electricity muti-register customer is 26.26p per kWh and with a standing charge of 53.36p per day. The equivalent per unit level for a typical gas customer is 6.89p per kWh with a standing charge of 29.62p per day.
They’ve increased the daily standing charge. So that’s just over £300 per year if you’ve both gas & elec meters.
*Ofgem website is still page after page of preamble.*
Just give us a page, with a table, that shows the price p/kWh for each region, each supply type, and with the standing charge for each supply type. Giving a headline for a “typical household” is beyond pointless for a number of reasons, not least of all the fact that a typical household in Region A will pay a different amount from a typical household in Region B/C/D etc.
Does anyone know how the cap works if you have alternative heating? I have LPG and received that heating allowance, and pay someone once a year to fill the gas bottle buried under the lawn.
Is there an electric cap proportional to the overall cap?
As others have said, the standing charge is going up to compensate. These cunts have had a taste of just how hard they can screw us and the record profits it brings. It’ll be the devil’s own job to back them off now.
Just wait for slick Sunak to take credit for it, only for the prices to climb up during the winter.
