SSE 8.2% Increase - Actual Increase is...

LesU

What is the point of expressing to such accuracy a completely fictitious user's increase?
It's as meaningful as expressing the average max temperature for the UK in November as 10.12 Deg.C. Of course it was -1 C in the Cairngorms and 20C in Cornwall, and it wasn't 10.12 C anywhere else, but at least we know the average for the UK. Not very useful as a guide to use to plan your late holiday.
What the release should have said is the price will rise by between, say, 8 and 10% for a standard user.

The full release did say that! It gave the full breakdown of price change, by region, and how they reached that figure.

would be intrested to know those on SSE and are affected by latest rise, what their unit costs have risen by, I have a feeling that the official figure will be a lot higher than 8.2% and more like well into the double figures for some

can you post current unit prices and the new prices when hikes come into force?

sse customer, old unit price elec 12.78 scharge 26.10 gas 4.09 sc 26.1 new price, elec 13.66 sc15.66 gas 4.43 sc 15.66. this includes discount of £40 per fuel . this is a online standard.I was getting a discount off my monthly duel fuel of £106 back as a loyalty per year but thanks to goverment they do not give this now. My sc has gone down but the discount of £80 is included in this so i lose the differance. I am in north east region.
