    Back of an envelope costings for those usage figures using my local EPG rates (NW England) shows an annual cost of £1,040 or so for electricity and £1,350 for gas, total £2,390. Take off £130 credit balance and divide by 12 gives monthly payments in the region of £190 to give a small credit balance at 1st October 2023.

    Current account balance is not high enough to avoid a significant debit balance at 1st April but this should be totally clawed back mainly through lower gas usage through the summer months.
