John Stones #36 I heard nothing

Can't believe we need a new thread title again!

Can we talk about grown up energy prices again!?

Help me understand the new price cap...

A max of £2,500 per household - does this technically mean that bae in his mansion can potentially be paying the same as RLF and I in our bungalow!? Because if we'd taken the new fixed rate we were offered a few months ago, we'd have been paying more than £2,500 a year so I presume now we're moving to a variable rate we'll be looking at the max pricing.

We're still getting the £400 discount, so does this mean the cap is actually £2,100!?

It’s not really a cap of £2,500, that’s just an average price for an “average” household. The price per kw is capped, so if you use more you’ll pay more.

Martin Lewis' round-up of the new £2,500 energy price cap – here's what's happening

Energy bills will be capped at £2,500 a year for a typical household from 1 October 2022 for the next two winters, Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced. A £400 energy rebate will also continue to be paid as planned from October.

Thanks Rubae, as we've always been on a fixed rate prior to now it's impossible for me to even take a shot in the dark at what our monthly bills are going to be and that really bothers me.

Make sure you have something nice for dinner to give you a little respite and keep you going. That's a very tidy desk btw.

imo the worst kind of wank is when you’re really into it and watching on your phone and your mum rings you and you have to quickly either decide to decline the call and carry on or stop what you’re doing and answer the phone and hope you’ve closed the web page and they can’t hear the audio.

Can you look at your usage over the last year? Your bills should have actual usage on there

If you look back at your bills and can see how many kw you’ve used then you’ll be able to estimate it using the current price. Look back at last winter’s for a more accurate estimate than over the summer.

Gosh you guys are such good adults.

Have you got a smart meter? Mine makes me sick - it was £4 at 5pm yesterday and neither of us had been in. No extra leccy used.
I’m going to cry when I finally use the washing machine

Oh god and then when the heating goes on too it’ll be horrific

Does the kW used look right? I would check you're not hemorrhaging power somewhere

Yeah, its just the price suppose it’ll average out, but I reckon we’ll be paying a tenner a day in the winter at least. Told him he needs to start going into the office every day

We have one but it only measures the electricity because for some reason the gas and electricity meters here are on opposite sides of the house.

It's looking like a £50 increase per month on what we pay now!?

Gonna be my new word from now on

Thinking about Bae asking to see your cans in his Emmerdale Farm accent bestowed upon him by @ruby1080

Also, I noticed when I logged in that we are £699 in credit, so surely that'll come off our bills for next year too!?

Yeah, we’ve gone from a variable. Our DD was £110 and now we’ve been asked to pay £215

When did you last get billed? If you pay by monthly DD but you're billed half yearly or quarterly, some or all of that credit will go towards that bill

But generally yes you should be in credit after the summer

I promise to never do it again. Are you struggling with it? Do you need brain bleach?

At the end of May, so you're right, that £699 is our 4 monthly payments since then! Silly me. What would I do without you guys!?

I tried reading the chapter this morning and I just started laughing
