Those those still choosing to pay by quarterly pay on receipt of bill (why?), the cap is £2211. @Padders Gas likely to be around 7.5p (sc of 29p) and electric 30p (sc of 53p) for those on monthly payments, the quarterly people can add about 7% to those, regional variations table hasnt been released yet. Cheers HHR. Gas price fallen again today, now at 61 dollars... Very poor reduction.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its because the government were subsidising the previous caps, in reality the cap is down over a third but nobody was paying it due to Government intervention. If you want to get your rate down a little bit more you should move over to monthly billing. Ignore the scare stories. Some providers offer a scheme whereby you read the meter(s) monthly, you send those in (or they read themselves, depends what kind of meter you have), and then they bill you based on MONTHLY ACTUAL usage and take it out your account 14 days later. Octopus offer this and their customer service is very good, and we both get a free 50 quid credit if you use my referral code. Bills are emailed and in your online account (you are here on the forum so cant imagine thats an issue). Sod British Gas off and move over to a decent provider, let me know if you want the code/link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I have mentioned the Octopus Tracker rate a lot on this thread, they recently whacked a 6 month waiting list on it. Looks like the waiting list is about to either vanish or be cut considerably. Worth going onto this but only if you keep an eye on the rates they charge you, its cheap at the moment but that may change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I’m pretty sure that we will switch from Shell, however it’s not going to cost a mint if we search the market and make our minds up in say, October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we can see how privatisation is "saving us money and keeping prices down" The British people are easily conned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
