Energy monthly price up from £71 to £132 pm

62Sunshine · 2022-06-16 18:34:43

Hi, I'm hoping for some advice. My current tariff with Shell Energy is £71 pm and finishes at the end of July. They've told me my new tariff is £132 pm until October. That's an increase of over 85%. Is it worth calling them to try to reduce it or should I look to switch, if that's even available? Many thanks

This sounds pretty good. My bill has gone up £173 pm and this is with reducing my gas usage.
I'm planning on shutting off the heating come October as another rose will be unaffordable.

Bear in mind it's possible your reduced gas use hasn't yet been factored into your DD amounts.
