Thats an old article as well, from back in August, before the current cap of £2500.

Re: The energy crisis

Was with SSE, but SSE have moved over to Ovo.
Not sure what's going on with the EBSS credit. At first Ovo credited to my account, now they seem to have taken it away. Assuming as November DDs were still via SSE, the credit will be applied to my bank account as the October one was with SSE. Weird to see my Ovo balance drop in a matter of hours since this morning.

It's all those big posh sandstone houses off Cold Bath Road, like Harlow Terrace....


Meanwhile up in land of Boro, temperatures have dropped quite considerably in the early morning, enough for the heating to come on to get the house up to 18c

Re: The energy crisis

New nuclear plant at Sizewell C 'could be delayed or scrapped altogether' in review

It's not like there's an energy crisis

Toasty! I reluctantly turned my thermostat up to 13'C yesterday as it was feeling a bit chilly.
