Three and a half years after war plunged Europe into an energy supply crisis, millions of households in Great Britain are braced for another winter of painful gas and electricity bills.
On Wednesday, the quarterly cap on charges will increase again. Despite a fall in wholesale gas prices, the ceiling for a typical annual dual-fuel bill will rise by 2% to £1,755 to help cover the costs of energy policies and network upgrades.
If gas is down and energy is up then it’s not the gas price driving energy, is it?
‘“Then, sadly, we see a growing cohort of customers who can pay, but for whatever reason won’t pay. Ultimately the customers in this category are costing everyone else more. It’s important that we target support for those who need it most.’
One could, of course, simply cut off the energy supply of those who won’t pay.
‘Labour’s pre-election claim that it would cut energy bills by £300 a year by the end of the decade.’ But perhaps if Labour just scrapped net zero and went back to coal, it could reduce prices by that amount??? Indeed it could just burn the Greens as bio-fuel.
Ultimately the customers in this category are costing everyone else more. It’s important that we target support for those who need it most.
So these cunts are getting it anyway, either by stealing it or from our taxes. Either way it costs us more. But only bright, compassionate, progressive people fail to see this.
BB, you cannot cut off non-payers. That would be racist.
So why all that effort to roll out smart meters if they’re not going to put them to practical use?
So you can cut off grannies instead of trannies?
Hornsea 1 gets a guaranteed price of £200 per mWh. Current market price is £79……..
AKA the Net Zero madness
For a more detailed discussion on this see: https://davidturver.substack.com/p/uk-industrial-electricity-prices-highest?publication_id=1285567&post_id=174940186&isFreemail=true&r=1rkslp&triedRedirect=true
“Industrial electricity prices are 63% of the IEA median, yet industrial gas prices are below the median. It is not gas that is driving electricity prices higher. It is the £12bn per year in subsidies, another £2.7bn in grid balancing and £1.3bn in capacity market back up costs. These costs are added to our bills and are set to rise further.”
That’s £16bn. 28m households in the UK, so that’s £571 per household per year on subsidies to ‘green energy’ and dealing with the direct problems it causes.
Bloody hell.
Typo in the bit of the article that you quote – reading the article shows that industrial electricity prices are 63% *above* the IEA median
The Pope says we should pay higher energy bills – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgl1pgr2zn8o
If the God botherers are behind it, it must be true – ROTFL!
That’d be all the “cheap green energy ™” causing the price rise once again.
