What are your energy costs per kWh?

[Ihavenojob]

As title. Just been looking at the new cap, and comparing it to my tariff, looks like mine is a bit cheaper than the cap. I would have thought most companies would have charged the maximum they could. I'm with EDF by the way, after Utility Point went belly up.

Britishgas.

There electric standing charges are high. I was with BG years ago, and had a plan to save money, that I never got around to, of switching to them for gas in winter and back to another supplier in summer, who had more expensive gas but cheaper standing charges. Or was that electric? Can't really remember now! But it would have saved then. Probably too much hassle though.

I think most are charging the maximum they can.
Hard to move supplier, which means no competition, they can all charge the the full whack
If you have a cap, might as well wear it!

I'm still waiting for the total, complete chaos of BG taking over my supply from Bristol in January, to be sorted out, having won my Ombudsman complaint - then plan is to move to another supplier which is a bit easier to communicate with.

You would not believe just how much of a mess my account is in with BG, they seem totally incompetent, I have never had even the slightest problem with any of my previous suppliers.

Yeah, we from EDF to BG, that was a nightmare, then to Bulb.
Bulb were good, in fact, still are OKish for customer services.
I suspect they will eventually become fully state controlled, probably a few months after the next election ...

Your gas consumption seems to be about 50% higher, and electric almost double that of mine E- 2102Kw, G 10040Kw, versus your E- 3957Kw and G- 14506Kw.

Gas Unit Rate: 7.007p per kWh Standing Charge: 24.87p per day = £22.38 per quarter)

How are you so far above the cap?

 

[Mr Chibs]

I'm just looking at previous bills, to be honest, I've no idea what's going on, just seen my estimated usage is going to cost:

£1900 gas - 10400 kWh
£1630 electric - 3400 kWh
