Is this the new Cap which could potentially lead to return of Fixed Rates.
Hopefully...

All the focus seems to be on reducing gas - in the summer - rather than electric, terribly high standing charges have not been addressed, usual incompetence and rip-off pricing...

Why don't they tell us the maximum rate per kWh rather than this meaningless "average household annual rate"?

Allow for slight variations due to rounding, my calculations from the Ofgem model of the price cap for July - September are -

This seems very uneven. Why is gas going down by ~20%, but electricity only ~10% ?

Not exactly in line with the Governments green agenda and encouraging moves AWAY from fossil fuels - and presumably toward electricity

PS This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I have no mains gas, no Sir, not me

Above gas rates at very least must be + VAT

Those are the rates including VAT - i.e. what you'll actually pay

Those prices would give a cap of 2129.30. Could they have been rounded up to whole pennies?
