Aufc Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 i see Shell and Centrica both reporting billions of quarterly profit. There is not a cost of living crisis. There is a cost of greed crisis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Gas bill in for the first half of the year. Roughly GBP 2200 equivalent. We haven’t had the fucking heaters on since early April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 A couple of weeks ago I signed up to a new 2 year contract with Ovo. It was a significant hike but I chose the fixed tariff rather than chancing my arm on the rollercoaster of a variable one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth contacting the regulator, they are meant to be issuing fines for this behaviour. I'd also be putting your bill down to the minimum to burn through the credit or withdraw it into your bank account 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 14 hours ago, oaksoft said: The total bill for standing charges per month is only about £20 to £30 or thereabouts if I've read my bill properly so cutting that isn't going to get us anywhere. It's the per unit charge which will be the killer. I just had a look at my most recent bill and the standing charge and tax make up more than the cost of the Gas itself £8.44 for that for £5.50 of gas used. Electricity is slightly better £15.82 for standing charge and tax compared to £18.56 in usage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, oaksoft said: It's going to depend on the size of your house I suppose. Your usage is incredibly low. Presumably you have a flat? Having a look at my own usage, we have a 3 bed detached house and the last month our total bill was £85 including VAT so the standing charge is about 1/3 of that. In terms of usage, I'm not realistically going to get lower than that. Just 7 units of gas and about 165 units of electricity. Mind you, I'm in the house all day now. If I was working there would be almost no electricity usage during the working day of course. I suspect that if they scrap the standing charge they'll simply pad the unit rate to compensate which is what they used to do. I'm 2 bed but a mid terrace, also just me so usage is low with only me working from home etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it runs off the boiler, it was only put in just before I get the keys so I guess it's quite efficient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get mine down further I'd probably need to switch off one of the computers and also drop my coffee and tea intake from 12 mugs a day. The kettle probably accounts for most of the electricity. Yeh I only have a few hot drinks but use the hob and over at least once a day usually cook my porridge on the hob in the morning, but don't have a dishwasher which I think saves power. But after all that Shell keep pressuring me to up my bill to £85 a month. Wankers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSaints1877 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Am I correct in thinking that all people who have multiple homes in the UK that are not rented out will get £400 grant to help with the utility bills? Surely if you can afford to have more than one dwelling you can afford to pay your utility bills? Obviously this does not affect landlords where tenants are directly responsible for the utility bills. It just seems absurd that the mega rich who own multiple properties get multiple assistance. Surely that can’t be right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
