Aufc Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I managed to get a deal until October 23 back late last year which looks like a great deal at present. Wondering whether this will mean I will miss the worst of it? I already pay £230 a month. Some people must be proper struggling out there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(disclaimer :- I am absolutely clueless on how much electricity this could produce and am too feckin lazy to google) I think you've been flooded with glens if you think that the ecological damage that would be visited upon our lovely Highlands would be worth it or even achievable. Even if we did, it wouldn't be enough. Norway generate a huge amount of their power from hydro but as compared to ours, their geography is massively in their favour. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there seems to be mood music to change the reviews to 3 months rather than 6 months but I think I read forecasts that show it coming back down in April. That said youre company might go bust and you'll be stuck on the price cap 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 5 hours ago, Clown Job said: My gas is a prepayment meter I don’t even use my boiler than much thankfully I live in a naturally warm house, stick my heating on for about 20 minutes in the morning and that’s me all day But it’s still a pretty big jump. Edit: They seem pretty desperate for me to switch to a smart meter, but I’m happy with the pre payment. Least I can control how much cash I’m spending Regardless of what type of meter you have you’re still in control of what you’re spending. You choose to switch the heating on. How often do you want to use gas but you’ve got no credit in your meter (for whatever reason)? You could make an instant saving by moving away from pre-pay. It’s the most expensive option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Our electricity with SSE is going up £400 odd quid. We bought our house in December, and just stuck with the deal the previous owners were on. From what I can see, there’s very little to be gained from switching and we’ll just have to lump it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Job Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Quote A government spokesperson said: "It is hard to predict what longer term impacts the current situation in Ukraine will have on energy costs. "However, the energy price cap will continue to insulate millions of customers from volatile global gas prices." Good news, the UK Government will be doing f**k all National strike please Edited March 3, 2022 by Clown Job 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Got an email from OVO (SSE) today detailing the price rises from April the 1st. Electric up from 21.40p to 29.10p per unit, but the one that I can't get my head around is the standing charge, which goes from 28.32p per day to a whopping 50.53p per day. The standing charge reckons it keeps me connected to the network, pays for maintenance and meters to be read. Fingers crossed there are some meter readers in for inflation-busting pay rises Edited March 3, 2022 by LincolnHearts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I'm not Satoshi but it's an open forum so I think I can jump in. St James Place is notorious in personal finance circles for charging whopping adviser fees and the like, entry and exit fees for investing with them (mad), and basically just being a massively overpriced provider of investment services. All they basically do is gaslight you into thinking they know best and all this investment stuff is way too complicated, and put your money in the same funds that a reasonably priced IFA will use, or that you could find yourself, and charge you 3/4/5% instead of 1% for the privilege. It's not that it's a scam or anything, and your money will probably grow, but the fees can really restrict your returns. The sensible approach (IMHO) is to use a proper IFA, or learn about passive investing yourself and DIY. SJP have a massive plush office building surrounded by luxury motors in the west end of Aberdeen and every time I go past I'm reminded of the trope "where are the customers' yachts?!" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I’m the lucky one today. SSE Gas up by 75.4%. Electric by 41%. Absolute robbing fucking c***s. Surely at some point, they should have to show all these developments they’ve made by “reinvesting their profits” over the years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 On 25/02/2022 at 21:28, Stu said: Fixed rate ends at the end of March. New fixed rate deal has a standing charge and off-peak at double what I'm currently paying. Peak is about 50% more. The standard one SSE are proposing to shift me on to has only a slight increase on my current fixed rate - but I'm assuming that's going to jump a huge amount come April 1? Would I be as well biting the bullet an going with the new fixed one or holding off and see what happens? Looks like the price of the fixed rate has gone up even more since I posted this - off peak now well more than double and peak has doubled. Think I'll let it click on to the standard on April 1 and see what happens... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
