Visual of price freeze

Has anyone got the visual of the price feeeze? It shows what it is now and what it will be with the increase.

It is the kwh cost not the silly average.

Thanks if anyone has.

As it looks is a freeze would it not just be a straight line?

I read on another thread it's 30-35p per KWH for electric & 10p for gas.

Or Martin Lewis said add 6.5% to your previous annual cost to account for the increase & the £400

6.5% only works if you're around average.

If you're above it will be a lot more, if you're well under, it could be less.

We'll get unit rates from our suppliers soon then we can all work out how we stand.

Remember that Liz Truss had barely finished talking about this on Thursday and then all the note passing and announcements about the Queen started very shortly afterwards and attention has been focused elsewhere since.

Moneysaving Expert have published the rates here

I don't know if they're the actual rates (and it says there will be regional variation but I think that's quite small) or they've 'solved the equation' from the price cap, but it says they are right, so should be close enough.

It also appears that these are the rates for the next 2 years, but there's also the £400 to come off for the 6 months from October.

That's great and makes it really clear. They could probably add a couple of lines showing how much people are likely to use in July and January at those rates, to confirm that a monthly direct debit of £200 is appropriate (ignoring the £400 for now) even though their last 3 monthly bills might have been more like half that amount.
