Thanks, that's where I looked, but could only find 11.8% for June & 12.3% for July - RPI, All Items.gefnew said:Try this for more info and downloads.
Inflation and price indices - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)
I'm interested in this is as the contracts we have with our customer(s) allow for RPI linked rate increases. Who'd have thought 3 years ago that this would be a significant inclusion

I have seen the 11.8% June figure used for an RPI linked increase. How does that differ from the 13. something linked to by

Funny how RPI is still used for so many things but is no longer an official statistic and as you've found, very difficult to find the numbers each month whereas CPI is headline news.70sbudgie said:I have seen the 11.8% June figure used for an RPI linked increase.

Ah, did @Chris_Type_R link to the CPI? I knew there were two figures and that RPI was the lower. I'd not twigged that was what had been linked to.4.3kW PV, 3.6kW inverter. Octopus Agile import, gas Tracker. Zoe. Ripple x 3. Cheshire0

No, I linked to 'RPI excluding housing' - which seems to be the basis for the screenshot on the previous page. The standard RPI is lower at 11.8% &12.3% for Jun & Jul respectively. RPI tends to be higher than CPI which is why we make use of it within our contracts.70sbudgie said:Ah, did @Chris_Type_R link to the CPI? I knew there were two figures and that RPI was the lower.

There's more here about why and when the government use RPI rather than CPI - https://www.theweek.co.uk/87811/rpi-vs-cpi-inflation-are-commuters-paying-the-price - we're rather fortunate to have FIT increases tied to RPI.Central Beds, 2.02kWp (9 x 225W) south facing with some morning shade, installed 2011 (£7.16/Wp).
