Energy price cap will rise in January adding pressure on households

A new domestic energy price cap has been announced leading to higher bills for millions.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

Standing charges

"In most areas, the charge has doubled over the last two years. In January, a typical household will pay 53p a day for electricity and 30p a day for gas."

How the fuck do Ofgem justify that.

WWWWWAAAAAANNNNNKKKKKERRRRRRRSSSSSSSSZSSSSS.

Octopus Energy - Shell Energy​

Shell Energy customers are joining Octopus​

​
​
Hello Stuart,​
Let me be the first to welcome you to Octopus Energy.​
Yesterday, Octopus purchased Shell Energy Retail Limited’s home energy & broadband business. We can’t wait to bring you the outrageously good customer service, long-term value, and green innovation we’ve become known for.​
Your supply will continue uninterrupted, and you don’t need to do anything right now.​
We’ll work hard to make your move to Octopus as straightforward and simple as possible. Over the next few months, we’ll transfer you to our award-winning customer platform.​

What happens next?​

​
We’ll next get in touch when your account is moving across to Octopus systems, and we’ll share your new account details at the same time.​
In the meantime:​
■​
​
There’ll be no change to your energy supply. You’ll be able to use your Shell Energy account and app, just as you have up to now.​
■​
​
If you need anything, contact Shell Energy as you usually would. Shell Energy is continuing to operate as usual under Octopus Energy’s ownership, and you’ll be supported by the same dedicated Shell Energy team and get bills and communications from them the same way you always have.​
■​
​
Your energy prices aren’t changing right now. We’ll honour any fixed tariffs. Variable tariff prices are protected by Ofgem’s energy price cap (which next changes on 1st January – more info below).​
■​
​
Any credit balance will be safe. If you pay by Direct Debit, there’s no need to cancel it. We’ll automatically transfer your credit and your Direct Debit over to Octopus at the appropriate time, so you won’t need to lift a finger.
If you prepay for your energy by top-up, your top-up card or key will work as normal, and Friendly Credit and Emergency credit hours aren’t changing.​
■​
​
If you receive the Warm Home Discount, you’ll get those payments as expected. If you’re worried about paying your bills, Shell Energy has extra support available.​
■​
​
You won’t be able to switch to Octopus sooner. We can’t wait to look after you, but switching early could cause issues, and we won’t get all your old Shell Energy records (i.e bills and meter readings).​

Looking forward:​

​
In the next month​
We’ll start moving Shell Energy customer accounts to Octopus. We’ll work to move everyone over quickly and carefully, but it will take us a few months to get to everyone’s account - you’ll hear from us when your account transfers to our systems.​
In December​
If you’re on a variable tariff, you’ll be contacted to let you know your energy prices from January 1st based on Ofgem’s new price cap. The cap will be around £100 more per year for a typical home, so you’ll likely see some increase in prices.​
Customers on tariffs where your rate is fixed won’t be impacted.​
1st January​
Prices change for customers on a variable energy tariff, in line with the new energy price cap.​

Octopus Energy are wank. Just saying.
 
The Guinnesss are circling now. Just had a phone call from my electricity supplier trying to book an appointment to install a Schwab meter.
"Absolutely not. I am terminating this call.", I offered, helpfully.

I expect a visit from jack-booted thugs within the week.

Energy price cap hike to help suppliers recover record level of unpaid bills

Ofgem says its plan aims to spread the pain fairly, sparing pre-payment meter customers from shouldering the additional burden.

👏👏👏👏

Well done Ofgem.

To help people that can’t afford their bills to companies making record profits they’re going to increase their bills.

Fucking genius. 😡

"Free stuff" for people who can't pay curtesy of those who will soon be no longer able to pay.

Is there a more perfect example of socialism in action?
 
Alan Williams said:
Manufactured so the people that actually pay their bills get to blame the poor.

More Thatcherism than socialism I’d say.

You're a 4D Chess kinda a guy, aren't you, Alan. I always knew you were a Trumper :D

:sneaky:

Thatcherism is "Me and my chums are gonna be rich! Fuck the poor!"

Socialism is more a case of, "Fuck the poor! Me and my chums are gonna be rich!"

They couldn't be more different.

I thought Thatcherism was more “What assets (of others) can I sell to make me and my chums rich, Fuck the poor!”

Socialism I think you have spot on. 😀
Unless it’s modern socialism, “work harder the poor, the rich have fucked up again”

Thatcherism was simply a methodology, same as is socialism. Merely means to an end. The goals are the same.
 
Don't forget that the changes to the Energy cap happen on January the 1st and you should register your meter readings before that date, to avoid being charged the higher rate for cheaper units.

Changes to energy price cap from 1 January 2024
