    Makes no sense when wholesale costs are sky high.
    4.29kWp Solar system, 45/55 South/West split in cloudy rainy Cumbria. 
  • Makes no sense either as if you load the tracker it does say a diff price, but that says wholesale price, not my price, so I do know its wrong but I am also going to argue this is my price it says on these days with calendar pics taken in same pic...

    My "load Tracker" thing has never worked properly, I only get a "figure of 8 of doom" (usually a circle of doom)

    I think their billing system has gone wrong as well - I don't have a smart gas meter and do weekly reads just had pdf bill for the latest period, I am on tracker v3.


    This week the line items from usage calculation is as follows - highligted in bold is an item I have not seen before and does not make any sense at all:

    3rd Dec. 2022 59433.0 Customer reading

    10th Dec. 2022 59505.0 Customer reading

    Consumption 72.0 Units (m3)

    Energy Used* 818.1 kWh @ 9.85p/kWh† £80.59

    Energy Price Guarantee 818.1 kWh @ 4.22p/kWh -£34.50

    Standing Charge 8 days @ 25.92p/day £2.07
    Subtotal of charges before VAT £48.16
    VAT @ 5.00% £2.41
    Total Gas Charges £50.57


    Any thoughts or anyone else seen this?
  • Looks like the calculation is taking into the gov subsidy, I would argue thats not your/my fault and you do not accept to be re-billed on the basis you used accordingly to the price at the time.

    Very tricky one for them, I assume they may actually be asking the gov for the subsidy on these tariffs too lol

    Deleted, I was talking rubbish because I didn't read the post properly.
  • Ohh maybe the subsidy hasnt been disabled for the trackers where it would always be under the cap? e.g. v3 for gas? I am 2.2p today lol
