Energy bills to fall again from July under new cap

I'll believe that when I see it.
Everyone I've spoken to has not seen any reduction in their energy bills since mid 2020.
Personal residential customers or business customers.

At least some good news, it’s not really a lot in my opinion but it’s something.

Debra Baxter has high energy use throughout the year, having to charge her wheelchair to get out and move around her home.
“The lower [prices] are still not enough to pay for my wheelchair to be charged every day,” she said.
I dont think people have a good idea about what is costing them.
An electric wheelchair will go 100km on 2.5kWh and 2.5kWh would probably cost her about 75p
What hasnt come down (and no one is talking about) is the standing charge.
You could be paying 50p per day just for being connected to the grid (i. e £180 per year) which is too much imo.
the standing charge got jacked up for everyone by ofgen to sweeten the deal for surviving suppliers taking on the customers of all the micky mouse suppliers that crashed... Iirc it was supposed to be a short term emergency measure.

Are you sure only you is talking about that?

Ive not heard anyone talking about standing charges.. But I havve heard a lot about how the price cap is falling by £122 (which is entirely down to a cut in the unit rate afaict) to the point that Im fed up listening to it.
The media is not doing a good job of explaining ofgem, government and energy company bumf IMO

I would say Lewis has a somewhat specialised audience of people who are much more 'switched on' to reading and questioning the various lines on their bills than average.

Hope so, my bill was 178 quid this month.

Is your house like 15 bedrooms or something?

Thats my gas and electric bill for a 3 bed house

How many kids?
Scottish victorian five bed detatched with no loft insulation under the slate roof and ours was under £80 in May... 🤔 the direct debit was double that mind but still less than that

None, its me, my dad and my brother.

Cannabis farm?

lmao, no

We shall see
