biggest con going, my standing charges literally doubled at the end of feb , finally got a gas bill off eon for the first time since may even though i've got smart meters ,and bearing in mind i've never had the heating on i used £0.89p yet ended up with a £34.42 gas bill .The part I dislike the most is what they have done to the standing charge. Why have they increased that at all?
Many pensioners and others on fixed incomes will need to ration their use of energy. They have tried to ensure that there is little reprieve for doing so by charging us twice the old charge for not using energy.
Makes me believe that it is something they envisaged so they took steps to ensure that any attempts to conserve energy wouldn't go unpunished.
If only i could continue paying what i'm paying now . I've been on a fixed dual contract with Scottish Power for almost 2 years now which ends at end of December. Currently have a DD for £110 a month, dread to think what they going to attempt to increase it to come January."if the government want to do something, then force the per unit price cap DOWN to a point where the companies still make money, but not billions every month off the backs of those who can least afford it"
Digidude, Ofgem are accountable to Parliament and the Price Cap is supposedly set accordingly "The price cap, as set out in LAW , puts a maximum per unit price on energy that reflects what it costs to buy energy on the wholesale market and supply it to our homes. It also sets a strict and modest profit rate that suppliers can make from domestic energy sales."
Note the part "It also sets a strict and modest profit rate that suppliers can make from domestic energy sales" I would suggest that is NOT what is occurring and therefore the High Price Cap is therefore ILLEGAL !!!!
It is because of this I believe that NOBODY should pay the new increased prices, but to Continue Paying ONLY The Same Amount That They Are Paying NOW !!!
I think we are also paying for them to maintain the grid Spud. Just imagine if we had to pay standing charges to our preferred Supermarket to cover maintenance costs, or to your local garage in order for them to continue repairing or servicing your car.Why pay all that money for a meter to clock on how much you use a year for their service ?
And bill you x (hole of the uk making billions a year from that and called it standing charge
Should be able to pay for the meter probs only tops £500 retail price

It's all very well the government stepping in to put a cap, but the taxpayer are going to be footed with this bill and as already mentioned the greedy utility companies are going to milk as much money as they can out of us still. If we aren't paying it in our current bills, we're still going to pay it eventually.
The war started Feb 24, ofgem already set apr cap on Feb 3 Price cap to increase by £693 from AprilAs @digidude said it is an Energy tax and Truss is trying to make herself look good buy freezing the cap at £2500.
It stinks ffs and there is nothing people can do about other than rigging their supply if they know a man who can.
Does anybody think that if Putin wasn’t at war with Ukraine these energy prices would have risen so sharply or they are just using it as an excuse.
Futures marketYou're absolutely right about the crash and for several weeks the Saudis were paying to have the oil taken away ! Strange that during that time they were no noticeable drops in energy or fuel prices.
