"Is it going up because their costs (mortgage etc) have genuinely gone up or are they taking a chance that you won’t refuse?

"Not worried about it as globe warming will keep us nice and warm . As someone else said its wait and see what actually happens first then react . Be sensible and don't panic . Most of it is scare tactics by the media and energy companies to get more money out of us " A little bit of cynicism goes a long way. | |||

The £2500 cap is based on household average , I would think most people can use below average without too much pain, unless you have 5/6 bedrooms and a heated pool/hot tub. I’m estimating 150 a month in winter , so 85 after the gov. credit and about 70-80 in summer so it’s higher than it was but not impossible | |||

Just not as much as they otherwise would. I think it's effectively still doubled since last winter? We get doubly shafted because we rely on heating oil. | |||

"You think more people will comit crime just to get locked up? Get heating and food paid for. " Part of the reason Australia had such a high Irish population during the colonial period was the potato famine. People committed victimless crimes (arson, setting things on fire in an open field was common) so at least they would be fed. | |||

"Based on my energy useage during the corresponding period last year and the prices I have been given for both gas and electricity my 6 monthly cost will be in the region of £550. A rebate of £400 will be received from my energy provider so my net costs will be around £150, i.e. £25 a month.All figures are subject to VAT at 5% My electricity supplier is Eon and my gas supplier is Ecotricity."
