Huge rise on Energy bills

The £200 they’re giving people to help out is actually a loan I believe. Will we have to pay interest on it?

Yet another "brexit bonus" CvD66

In France the leading energy provider, EDF, is state owned. The government has committed to selling electricity below market prices and are holding prices to consumers down at a cost to the public purse of 20bn€ (remember £12.1bn lost by UK government due to covid fraud and PPE waste!). In addition in France, 38m families have been given (not loaned as in UK) 100€ with a further 100€ to low income families. Contrary to what Gove and Johnson stated during the referendum, individual EU companies CAN introduce their own policies. So Spain has reduced VAT on home heating - a claim made by Johnson but not followed through! There are also Brussels endorsed policy options to keep consumer prices under control. But the UK of course has Brexit!

My monthly direct debit almost doubles from March. I’m worried for us but even more worried for DD.

Yeh

What I want to know is why here in France our electricity has gone up by 4%, and in the UK by 54%??

Yep
