Re: Energy companies collapse

Had a late night gaming, got up 9:15 this morning to find the central heating on full bore. Sure wish wife & daughter would bugger off back working in an office instead of at home.

Re: Energy companies collapse

I got mine on 7 April - it looks like my council were very efficient with this.

Re: Energy companies collapse

I, unfortunately, won't get the £150 rebate as my council tax band is E.

Will you struggle without it?

Personally I would have liked it to be means tested and those who will really struggle get more. I used no gas for heating this winter due to costs and I have had to massively change my habits to afford leccy.

Thankfully I got the WHD and this £150 will mean I manage till October and the WHD and the £200 then will mean I can survive till the next change which early estimates might actually be a drop. (According to Martin Lewis latest update)

No, not really, but it would have been nice to get it, we aren't that well off.

Re: Energy companies collapse

We don't pay by DD so we have to wait for a letter from the council to tell us how to claim the payment.

Mine is as high as they go :shocked: no problem for me but near neighbors have lived in the same house since the 1950s on a fixed income a struggle as it is, not to put a finer point on it . They think the council provide free meals on wheels as well as window cleaning . No family and hardly ever go out ,so unlikely to fine out anything different

Re: Energy companies collapse

An interesting article

Something seriously odd is afoot in natural gas markets.
There's a BIG glut of gas in the UK.
Wholesale gas prices are the lowest in 18 months.
There is so much gas no-one is quite sure what to do with it
Yet far from falling, household gas bills are heading even higher.

From the full article.

I'm afraid the answer in both cases is depressing. For while it's certainly true wholesale prices of gas and electricity for next-day delivery are indeed at rock bottom levels, the domestic energy suppliers with whom we all have our accounts say they tend instead to sign up to contracts for energy delivered months or even years ahead.
...
And when you look at the year-ahead price for gas, it is at nearly the same level as in north Europe, and is still considerably higher than before the invasion. In other words, even though the UK is drowning in gas, markets suggest we won't be in a few months' time, and that as a consequence, consumers get little or no relief from these very low prices.
