"By the end of the month I will have used about 60 quid in electricity, and barely been at home. I can track the usage etc, I wasn't at home at all yesterday and managed to use £3.30. Everything is switched off at the socket other than the fridge and smart meter. Damn you standing charges from hell." we use that at the moment and we have a lot more than that running | |||

"Once it was privatised, you were always going to get rinsed. Should have left it as the leccy and gas boards. They're lining their pockets, as usual " I wonder when the next quarter results come in with bumper profits again how they and the shower in power will justify it | |||

"By the end of the month I will have used about 60 quid in electricity, and barely been at home. I can track the usage etc, I wasn't at home at all yesterday and managed to use £3.30. Everything is switched off at the socket other than the fridge and smart meter.Damn you standing charges from hell." Overnight, my electricity consumption is about 0.04kw every 30 mins so about 2kwh in 24hrs. That's fridge freezer on, TV and microwave on standby, oven clock on, couple of devices charging, 4x echo dots, 2 monitors on standby. 2kwh is about 52p and the standing charge about the same so just over £1. Not sure how you used more than £2 more than me if you weren't at home most of the day. My daily consumption is typical about 8kwh so £2.50 plus standing charge. That includes washing washing, dishwasher and TV for 2-3 hours. Plus microwave / air fryer and working from home. | |||

"Haven't they capped it? And we are getting money back ?" Yes it's capped and we're getting £400 in monthly installments of £66 and £67. The capped rate is still much higher than it was last winter though | |||

"As a pensioner over the age of 80 I will be getting total benefit of £1000 made up of the 6 monthly discounts on Energy, Pension Cost of living, and Winter fuel Allowance, What really annoys me is that my sister who gets a six figure private pension will get the same benefit. In all fairness she has said she will donate it to charity." It's probably more cost effy to give as a blanket benefit than means test it | |||
