How much has your energy bill increased!?

Had an email off British Gas yesterday saying that my gas bill will be increasing by £534 a year and my electricity by £370, so a total of £904 per year. That’s all estimates of course based on our usage now, but how are people going to afford this?!

Currently on maternity leave so in the house a lot with a baby and a toddler, so obviously electricity is being used a lot. We also only have the heating on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. Confused

How much has yours increased? I find it actually very worrying how your expects to find another £900 out of thin air essentially.

@ Spudina
I hate to break it to you but the fix doesn't mean you cant pay above that figure.
It is not an all you can use figure it just means that that is the price for an average household. And the price per unit is fixed so if you use more than average you will pay for the extra at the fixed unit price. in other words the fix is the price per unit but how much you will pay will depend on how many units you use. Sorry .
