pete Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Can't seem to find out what my charges per kWh will be from 1st April. All they seem to talk about is the increasing price cap but no breakdown. Any ideas where I can look Quote hindsight: the science that is never wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeterjeep Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I am with EDF and they sent me 2 letters with the new rates on. Also a large increase in the daily standing charge. Have started playing with a few solar panels to run a few of my garage/shed uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 @pete I'm with British Gas and mine are Current rate New rate Direct Debit rate Gas (to 31st March) (from 1st April) (from 1st April) Standing charge (per day) 30.783p 32.032p 27.220p Unit rate (per kWh) 4.272p 7.736p 7.344p Electricity Standing charge (per day) 28.586p 43.335p 37.918p Unit rate (per kWh) 21.985p 30.799p 29.240p My 30+ year old boiler is being replaced in 2 weeks time, and just placed an order for 5.5Kw of solar on the roof, along with battery storage - probably by the end of April, so should be around 25% reduction in gas usage and an up to 70% reduction in electricity. Also a switch to Octopus from BG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAR Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Octopus will be changing their standard tariff at midnight on Saturday night. They say you can submit a reading up to 7 days afterwards for the Saturday. Quote It's getting there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJ Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Still can't login to British Gas - however, they have created a page where you can submit your meter readings. Slight problem, asks for your Gas & Electric meter numbers, which can be found on a bill ........ which I can only see by logging in ...... duh !!!!!

march Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Can anyone explain why my electricity standing charge has just gone up 101%? to over 51p per day (highest in the country by the way). I just don't see how this can be justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(eg next doors stables) https://utilita.co.uk/energy We’re one of the only energy suppliers to have no standing charge. This means you won’t pay anything if you don’t use any energy.

Bibs Posted April 3 Author Report Share Posted April 3 Why is energy going up so much now and again later in the year anyway? Haven't we been paying huge sums into bolstering our renewables, has the wind stopped blowing and the sum stopped shining? There are turbines all over the place and huge solar farms on what were once farmers fields which I assume we've paid for via our bills, why aren't we getting any benefit from this, in fact our energy costs are doing exactly the opposite of what they should be doing after all this capital expense.
