Why has EDF increased my Direct Debit?

This discussion was created from comments split from: EDF have upped our monthly DD to £860, equivalent to £10,300 per year for our 3 bedroom semi.

I am in the process of working out why EDF who took over from GNE have increased my DD from £116 in July 21 to £183 until Feb 22 then £266 to August and now £480 from September. This is before the latest tariff rise. 

I admit to not checking the actual bills until recently when I set up my user account because I have submitted meter readings and assumed my DD would have reflected  annual use. I have always been a high user and know my usage going back several years.

Because unit prices have more than doubled across the period you are talking about.

Thanks, but not 400% overall before October's increase kicks in. Spreadsheet in progress. I have one bill missing, the final one from GNE, but should manage without that one as the readings should cover the previous bill and then first from EDF.
