O/T Capping Energy bills

[BramleyMiller58]

No wind-up. In the past I've just got the bill & payed it. Not got a clue about the unit price. Anyone else same?

Siding with gru on this one.

I'm getting confused with the "cap".
Is that the max you can be charged or the max they can charge per unit of gas/electric ?
If the latter how's it broken down, ie max they can charge per therm on KWh ?

Any budding Martin Lewis' out there ?

Just say max was a pound per kw
That is the most you will be charged for every kW you use. Use more units pay more.

I have to say I'm impressed and thought no government could leave a trail of debt like New Labour did in 2010 ever again .

However the expected measures to subsidise the cost of wholesale energy plus covid takes the Conservative Party to a new stratosphere and we've two more years left before we see a GE .

The only thing left is for the incoming Labour government which is more or less a certainty following the Truss victory is to place the country under the most severest austerity ever seen , offer the wealthy tax breaks and declare war on the EU and the circle is complete .

Alternatively you could impose a windfall tax of course but let's not let common sense override ideology .

Truss said no GE before 2024, so who knows?

Bizarrely in my old man’s world GE is General Electric

Just my opinion and of course the government will try to call an election when they think they have the best chance of winning .

However I believe events will call time on the government and they will have to call an election which they will ultimately lose .

I've no idea what a Labour government will look like mind , the leader hasn't told us yet .

It will be unit price...otherwise you'll have everyone charging their electric cars at one house.

The cap quoted will be based on the average household.
