Thank you.Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you. Anne Lamott
It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?

Might as well wait now but best guesses ranged from 9-10p gas and 33-36p elec.

They never give the unit rate, only the average household use. Absolute waste of time, for most people who don't fit the average..Mstty said:

not really if you know your annual usage given if you know you use half or two thirds of the average then you can work out you'll pay about half or two thirds of the cap.DAVEMCFC said:

Different areas have different standing charge and unit price, so you can only get a rough idea.ariarnia said:

Green levy scrapped, but price still goes up? How does that work?0

My fix is 11% above the April cap so I should be ok with the £2500 average.1

the green levy is only a small part of most peoples bills now. i think i read it was less than £200 of the average annual bill so the cost of energy going up by more than that means the total still goes up.DAVEMCFC said:Green levy scrapped, but price still goes up?
