wasnt sure to put here or inflation thread but here goes.

Got bill today.

I am currently paying £60 combined a month for my electric and gas and live on my own in a 1 bed flat, to me thats an extorniote cost for gas and electric. My balance is they only owe me about £100 so the overpayment over the course of the year isnt a lot.

Since its a 6 month bill I can see the effect of the price rise. Its worse on electric.

Electric before 14 sept I was paying 10.94p a unit and after sept 14 its 11.64p a unit. A .7p unit increase thats approx without using a calc about 6-7% increase I think. On top of this the standing charge has gone from 7.2p for a 150 day period to 13.2p for a 35 day period. That looks to be a huge increase. Almost doubling of price. For the 5 month period before the increase the standing charge was £11 so approx £2.20 a month now its nearer £4 a month.
