Such a rise in power bills!

Urmstongran

The only silver lining to this is it may spark the government into life and make them realise the green fools plan for renewable energy won’t keep the lights on and houses warm. You need continuous power production not intermittent like wind and solar.

Not the brightest idea you have ever had??

Cost of gas has gone up dramatically. Russia limiting gas supplies. Electricity lines with France broken. Brexit means the EU will support it's members in preference to us.

Yes, it's all down to green energy!!!!

I really don't appreciate being called a fool by someone who has no idea what they're talking about Urmstongran

Its frightening indeed. I wonder will those on benefits have a corresponding rise. I doubt it.

well of course they will!!

This is worth a thought

Gas price increases suggest someone is profiteering, heavily, at cost to society. This might be the time for a windfall tax.

Strewth!

Just listening to radio.

70 fuel providers during last winter.

They say that the idea that only 10 will be left after this crises is optimistic!

What a shambles everything is.

I am currently with pure planet and am paying £122 due to rise to £184pm?

Decided to investigate switching. Am being quoted £400+ pm??? that can’t be correct surely!

All.Charges are going up astronomically. At least four companies are expected to go under this week.

£17 is really cheap Bluebell and Ashcombe can't ever see mine being that low I was please with a reduction from £170 to £85 per month

Its frightening indeed. I wonder will those on benefits have a corresponding rise. I doubt it.

I also pay £17 per month for gas and electricity ashcombe
I m with EON I ve been with them years I can’t be doing with all the chopping and changing They advertise as using green electricity now
Large old house, I don’t have central heating but two gas fires a gas stove and gas water heater and the normal electricity tv, lights, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer etc

My provider is Good Energy.

This year I had a smart meter installed, enabling me to monitor daily costs. My two bedroom flat uses gas for C/H, hot water and the hob with everything else running on electricity. At one time, I was paying a combined tariff of £43 per month, causing me to be in credit.

At my insistence, I’m now charged for what I actually use, resulting in a free month, an £80 refund and a current tariff of £17 per month. This will increase in the Winter but I’ll cope with that. I like this company for its use of renewable sources of energy.

Energy companies are privatised. Many are foreign owned ( including French/ Chinese etc). They have to earn profits for shareholders. I think it’s obscene that essential services such as water and electricity are allowed to be exploited in this way. This is political.

It is all going so well isn’t it?

It’s a global problem...

Exacerbated by our third country status.

Scones when they promised that they hadn't factored in Covid and how much that was going to cost

Covid hasn't cost anything. The money for his friends and donors for dodgy PPE supplies was created via the Bank of England.

Johnson has probably just forgotten that he promised anything at all.

Are people finally seeing the true cost of green energy?

The wholesale cost of gas has gone through the roof. Its got nothing to do with green energy.

This is also worth a read. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-gas-supplies-crisis-mps-warn-a7362286.html

www.thesun.co.uk/news/1218703/boris-promises-cheaper-household-gas-bills-if-brits-back-brexit/

"BORIS Johnson and Michael Gove today promise to scrap VAT on household energy bills if Britain backs a Brexit.

In the first cash sweetener of the EU Referendum campaign, they argue that leaving the EU will allow ministers to bin the "unfair and damaging" £2 billion a year tax on gas and electricity prices."

It might be a global problem, but they haven't scrapped the VAT as promised.

I fixed our with British Gas last March until September 2022 The rate they initially offered did not seem that good so I went through all their different rates took a while but found a good deal my monthly payment has halved
I could not find this on any comparison websites

Yes, we did the same with British Gas ( for our gas and electricity).

We switch every year to get a good deal. We have just signed up with Pure Planet and are happy it wasn't an astronomical increase

It is all going so well isn’t it?

I have been with British Gas for years just made the best use of the tariffs on offer there were loads of variations just had to hunt through them
