The whole energy crisis thing

Millsy

Hursty and miss out on the frisson of excitement when submitting my meter readings? No thanks!

Hursty

Millsy old skool

Millsy

Hursty avoiding smart meters like the plague. Might go full Flares style and get a pay key for the Londis.

Mad_Cyril

Hursty Everyone happy still paying way over the wholesale price for gas and electric?

Is it cheaper at Costco?

Hursty

Mad_Cyril unfortunately not but it’s obscenely cheaper on the open wholesale market for energy companies and has been for a while

Hursty

Millsy I saw an article saying some so-called smart meters may lose their smart capability when 2g/3g networks are turned off

Do you have a trust issue with them or just concerned that the tech is shit?

Millsy

Hursty both mate. Would they make any difference to my family energy consumption? I very much doubt it. They will be compulsory soon, but I’m in no rush.

Millsy

Out of interest, what’s everyone’s current monthly gas and leccy bill? I’m on about £270 which is a lot less than a few months back but still wank.

Hursty

Millsy £199 but I’m overpaying and have to request it back

I’m on the Octopus tracker so have been enjoying much lower rates for a year or so

erik

Millsy about 200 a month currently

Along_the_Wire

Millsy £90 a month with the robbing bastards EDF. Get rid of the kids toot sweet is my advice

seanc80

180 every two months for leccy and about 40 per month for oil. i do live on my own though

gcw

200pcm for gas and electric here. Was 80pcm in 2020 for context.

Provider wants to drop that to 130pcm based on usage but I’ll prob leave as is, it soon gets eaten up in winter

vinnyt77

Hursty £160 pcm for both, 2 people living in a 4 bedroom house. Was as high as £260 last year, but Octopus have brought it down fairly quickly…

benson

200 / Month. Gas central heating. Electric car that I charge on cheap electricity. Evens out throughout the year.

Just checking if anybody uses lunar months for their bills?

It feels like the c in pcm is redundant. And makes you sound like a letting agent.

Mad_Cyril

Fucking hell, do you all live in squats or something?

Either that or you’re all freezing to death.

Bedsit Britain

Hursty

Mad_Cyril 18 degrees is the max in our household 😆

alistair

Hursty Dickensian.

Millsy

It would appear that I got a phone contract with mine lol. Octopus look like the way to go.

Hursty

Along_the_Wire that’s crazy cheap, sounds like you’re robbing EDF!

Millsy

Along_the_Wire fucking hell, that’s proper. Lots of thick cable arran knits at Chez McKay.
