I've just remembered this thread.
How's it looking for you @Deleted_User
I've just been looking at my spreadsheet of usage costs for V12 vs April 22 cap, and we have "overpaid" up to 1st October by £40.
This cap remains just under the new capped cap, so hopefully we'll both be breaking even on our decision by the time our fixes end. I'll post up my "break even" date, when (if) i get to it!!How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)1 -

Still waiting on accurate tariff figures for the new October Price Cap so that I can plug them into my spreadsheet, but E.ON Next are so slowwwww)

There's a regional breakdown here, if it helps.

Morning @Deleted_User
How's it going. Have you broken even yet?
We're now within £4 of our break even point, and so I think we'll be there in about another weeks time, depending on the weather.

As the cold weather continued, we've just hit our break even point with Eon Next V12 versus the Ofgem October cap. We're 3p up on the deal, as of this morning.
It will be interesting to see what the total difference will be come April, and then we get thrown back in the pot with everyone else.
For us V12 is looking like its going to cost ~£1510 annually
The current October cap ~ £1670
and the April 23 cap ~ £2025*
Electricity - 1521 kwhs
Gas - 8786 kwhs
Estimates as per last bill (1/11/22), which are slightly above our actual usage over the last 12 months to 1/11/22 of 1470/7700, so we may come in slightly under those figures.
*Based on the rates we think they're going to be.How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)0
