Energy prices?

[tbourner]

Have gas and electric gone up alot recently? I know there are a few similar threads but no answers to whether wholesale gas and leccy have gone up?

 

We were with Southern Electric for 3 years ish, paying the same amount each month more or less (about £75-£80 IIRC), then last August we switched to NPower cos they said the amount we use they could do for £57 a month. All good. Our meter reading has just gone in and since we had cavity walls done we were hoping to pay even less - nope, going up to £108 a month!! WTF!!

 

So should I switch again?

 

Also, I went through Greasypalm to get £20 cashback for single fuel and £40 for dual fuel changeover to NPower - supposed to be with them for 3 months before getting the CB - Greasypalm say it's been reversed (invalidated by retailer) and it was only for £20 even though I changed both!! NPower are just being c*nts basically and I don't know why.

They have us over a barrel sadly.

 

In the petrol station this morning I noticed that unleaded had gone up again since a couple of days ago, the cashier confirmed another price hike happened yesterday.

 

121.9p for a ltr of unleaded, the robbing c**ts

I know what you mean about Npower.

 

They did send me a bill for the last 4 months usage for 1800 of my English Pounds! Luckly the reader monkey manged to put the wrong numbers in the wrong way round Corrected is still very high for what I use.

 

I would switch provider but I dont think the others are much different...

Expect domestic energy prices to double every 5 years in the next decade after that, doubling every 3 years.

I suspect a bit faster than that , and fuel prices to double within 2 years, £2.50 a litre will probably effect how and what people drive

I'll have my own Fusion reactor sat on my kitchen wall way before then

Mine is £84 with EDF although since putting modern lagging in the roof and the latest Pilkington A double glassing and having the walls cavity filled(council subsidised) I only seem to have the gas on for cooking and hot water now. As we are both out all day the electric bill is quite small.

Mine is mostly electric, all the heating is done by woodburner (used over 3 tonnes last winter)
