How much are your energy bills increasing post April 2024?

[Birthdaygirltoday33]

Did your supplier email you to let you know?

Unless you have a medical need, this is quite frankly ridiculous.

I managed to get onto the Octopus tracker tariff in Feb, so following wholesale prices instead of the energy cap.
Standing charges across the board haven't changed, today's kwh prices for electric is 22.75p and gas 5.46p.
I think they're still doing a waiting list to join it - last I checked it was 9 months.

Also, my car is electric and on an average day I drive around 100 miles. That certainly is contributing!

@newboots thanks I'll look into that

EON decreased my direct debit from £180 to £35 cause I've got over £1000 of credit on the account. Think I'll leave it for a 3 months(got my kids birthdays soon, so it'll pay for those), then ill put it back up again. I like to have a decent amount of credit on there, as you never know what's happening with the energy prices.

We’ve ended up over £1k in credit, so they’ve reduced our DD from £225 to £75.

@DiscoBeat - that a crazy amount of electric, surely that can’t be right?
As comparison we have 4 bed house, with 2 bed separate annexe holiday let. So up to 7 people living here daily. ( and washer dryer going for holiday let, 2 kitchens etc). Dh works from home in large tech based office so loads of electronics. We have electric car also ( sole car, so no petrol alternative).
Use on average 500kw a month ( was 440kw feb, and 510kw March)

Discobeat is either exaggerating, or is wrong.

or is going to drip feed that she owns a stately home.

Eon sent me this
Price difference:

	Electricity: £0.76 increase


	Gas: £7.02 decrease

So slightly less but won't have the help from government.

We've gone from £70 a month DD to £120 a month DD. I don't believe we will use that much over the summer though. Heating is already off and I'm not expecting it to go back on until October. Hoping we can reduce it because we really can't afford an extra £50 a month.

Already done, heat pump, annex, air conditioning, electric car.

Ah I missed those updates.

Air con in the U.K.? Might as well just mail Putin the fucking cheque.

@ThankmelaterOkay No that would be nice, but definitely not the case! More likely is that I misheard my husband and it DOES include the oil costs as well (we do get about a tank and a half full each year and the last fill was 2.5K. It would be nice if I have it wrong.

Air con in the U.K.?
We did use it during the hottest days last year, but not actually that often. But it all adds up.

@Nolongera I wasn't drip feeding, just answering a couple of questions, yours included. I'm just sharing shock at the way it's gone up in general, not particularly in my own usage as that's meaningless - everyone's is different.

well I dont live in a stately home but I am paying about 500 a month on average and December due to the extreme cold was 700 alone.
We have 2 children with v complex needs who rely on a warm house to stay well and a host of medical equipment to keep them alive. Then add on the cost of washing all the wet bedding created and we expect to pay about 7000 this year at least.
It is unsustainable for many families like ours .

Well yes, of course this is fine.

People moaning about energy bills when they are super-users, with no thought that the ERG has saved them £1000s, whilst it has barely saved those in society who really need the help.

And don’t get my started that they don’t realise their absurd usage means that wholesale prices are still high - if they had cut down even a few %, then gas prices would have fallen further and future bills would be lower. Ridiculous.

I cut my usage for Q1 2023 by about 25% compared with Q1 2022. If everyone pitched in like this, then the energy market would be considerably different, and the war in Ukraine would already be over.

I've just had mine from British Gas who want to go from £228 a month to £450 a month even though we're £800 in credit

Ours has gone down. I’ve sent meter readings every month and through winter we were using less per month than they were charging us for. So direct debit decreased and currently approx £600 in credit.

Unless you have a medical need, this is quite frankly ridiculous.
We just double checked. This is based on our latest estimate from British Gas, so would include their predicted for their increases.

On average our car costs around £20 a day to charge so that's over £7k on its own. But bearing in mind we don't have any fuel costs for that car.

That's the equivalent of 14 litres of fuel a day! You must have a long commute!

No commute, we're retired but on an average weekday we drive 1.5 hours for school run altogether. I also provide a lot of support to my mum, so that's a 1.5 hour round trip a couple of times a week as well. We're certainly clocking up the mileage. I think that is our main electricity culprit.

670%.

It was £1/month and now it will be about £67/month. Do I win?

Everyone on oil I talk to is in same situation.

How are people getting their costs for 2024?

We don't even know what the rates will be this summer

Probably a typo and should be April 2023
My electricity standing charge went up by quite a bit but the other charges only changed a little
