Tell you who it's really hurting businesses ,warehouses..
Our gas bill went from £70 per month to £310 per month in September :frown:
Average 3-bed semi-house.
Everyone I know/ speak to is struggling/worried with these energy prices. Many are substantially reducing usage/ wearing coats etc in the house, living in 1 room.
Not sure it's meant to be like this in 2022. People will die.
I dont understand how there haven't been riots.
For some perspective the cost of gas here in Poland has increased 8.5x within the last 9 months & electricity has increased by 3.5x
Sorry for being a thicko here Des.Quote:

Standing charges here are based on max amount of energy input to the house, although the cost per kw is the same.
Most people have 12 or 15KVA input. We are a large house (238m2) and need 18KVA input.
We are not on any fixed tariff, but costs are pretty much the same as 2021. There is also peak and off peak tariffs - 89% of our energy is cheap rate overnight (under floor heating plus hot water tank). We don't need the heating on daytime unless is goes down to around 10/12 degrees, and then only for an hour or two.. Mostly if it goes below that we light a large woodburner (bought and installed for €3000 four years ago). We have woodland so no need to BUY logs).

Overall our annual cost for 2021 was around €4000....same for 2022. From January the price goes up by 4%.....but still seems way way better than the rip off UK..
