I think we will be seeing over the coming years so many changes within the energy market that the SC will remain where it is or even increase further. Alot of these costs are shared costs so it would be unfair to lump them into the unit rate in order to bring down the SC as that would just mean a higher user ends up footing the bill for projects we all should benefit from.
Think new nuclear plants, rough storage coming back into play, these are not cheap, add In what is an aging network and inflation adding to addtional repair costs. Higher SC are here to stay, at least until housing stock is better insulated for those who can least afford higher rates.0 -

Or 35p and 52p.N. Hampshire, he/him. Octopus Intelligent Go elec & Tracker gas / Vodafone BB / iD mobile. Ripple Kirk Hill member.
2.72kWp PV facing SSW installed Jan 2012. 11 x 247w panels, 3.6kw inverter. 34 MWh generated, long-term average 2.6 Os.Not exactly back from my break, but dipping in and out of the forum.Ofgem cap table, Ofgem cap explainer.

Once implemented the increased SC for electric will continue, so 48p SC might become 51p in October and 53p in JanuarySomeone please tell me what money is1 -
Ive just been doing a spreadsheet to calculate my energy costs. Using CI latest prediction i get:Gas 0.1452p per KWElectricity 0.4669p per KW
This is assuming the standing charges don't change, if they change slightly it would have a minimal impact on the prices

pochase said:Your gas figures look ok, but electricity look to low. How did you calculate electricity?
For example the agreed figure for October is 45.6p and has been posted a while ago by @Mstty
Just realised i used the old TDCV of 3100. I've updated my post. My figures are higher than Mstty's but i'm not sure how long ago he did them. Mine are based on CI's data from Aug 2nd
