Re: The energy crisis
An unforeseen benefit of Brexit.

Quote:
The German city of Hanover has turned off the heating and switched to cold showers in all public buildings because of the Russian gas crisis.
...
And the EU has agreed to lower demand for Russian gas this winter by 15%
In a bid to save energy, Germany's northern city of Hanover has decided hot water will no longer be available for hand washing in public buildings, or in showers at swimming pools, sports halls and gyms.
...
The city is also banning portable air conditioners, heaters and radiators.

Some reports said the levy could cost families an extra €500 (£420) a year.
|
And that's just a levy, not usage costs.

Is the levy for all gas usage or just Russian gas usage, if it's Russian it wouldn't have affected us anyway as I doubt even as much as 15% of our gas comes from Russia

Re: The energy crisis
Details on the £400 Energy Bill Support Scheme.
Quote:
The money, part of the Energy Bill Support Scheme, will be paid in six instalments.
Households will see a discount of £66 applied to their energy bills in October and November, and £67 a month from December to March 2023.

Re: The energy crisis
Martin Lewis yesterday stated the expected rise of gas prices will be 77% I am not sure if he meant the whole price cap or just the gas side of it

Re: The energy crisis
I was looking forward to paying off my £185 a month mortgage in October but it looks like it'll all be going into energy costs now!

They must NOT be allowed to increase standing charges.

Why not? If the costs to the suppliers has gone up, then the money has to come from somewhere.

The cost of maintaining the infrastructure is separate to the the price of energy though and lets be honest those who sell to us do not maintain anything bar perhaps the meter
Is it Centrica? the company that has reported massive profits?

The suppliers get charged for providing the infrastructure. The standing charge is separate so you can compare usage tariffs.
It's NOT Centrica, and even if it was, Centrica is the PARENT multinational company, so has several sources of income, including selling Oil and Gas(where they DON'T set the buying price).
Eg Western Power Distribution is the Electrical distributor for the Midlands, South Wales, and the South West. They will be the ones setting the distribution costs for those areas.
