In time for the warm weather when we won’t use it as much and no doubt the government will be trumpeting about how this is a win for the working people.
It’s so frustrating that that don’t represent this as the standing charge and unit rate.
I don’t give a shit what the average household cost will be.
Just in time for summer 👍 and I’d put money on it going back up just in time for winter 🤯
So gas prices drop by 40%, so we get a 7% drop in costs. Makes sense ofgem
Weird how it always falls during the summer when energy use is a lot less.
Starmer can do another u-turn and keep the means-tested WFA as it is.
Granny’s not gonna freeze!
Good news. I still use gas and electricity for cooking and for cooling my house in the summer. This entirely wipes out the rise in the unit rate in April and gives us a bit extra too.
when are they just going to show the pp kwh instead of some random average shit that means nothing
If the purpose of a private company is to make profit , then energy infrastructure will never get to the point where it makes it noticeably cheaper for everyone.
The only way it’ll get there is if people generate their own energy
Course it will, it’s summer, nobody is going to have heating on
Anything that’s coming down in price is good with me
My fix is up this month. I’m unsure whether to fix again or to go for that octopus deal that changes every day. It’s rolling a dice but all I hear is people saying they are so much better off overall from it.
The % means nothing, it’s the same as the average bill or annual cost. It should be represented as the maximum KWh rate for Gas and Electricity and the Maximum standard charge then you can actually calculate a bill.
It’s ridiculous that when doing price comparisons they bury this information and only give you the projected annual cost which again means nothing.
People are complaining that it will go up again in the winter. I understand some people do well on the variable rates, but why aren’t the others locking in to fixed priced tarrifs?
