Default Eeewwww have energy prices gone up a chunk in the last 2 years?
Just got a letter saying my 2 year fixed plan ends next month and "do I want to fix again"... but Electricity has gone from 11.2p / unt to nearly 14p / unit and gas from 2.5p to 3.1p... total yearly increase of £220 "projected". Wtf is that! I'm just becoming a hermit. Who needs gas & leccy anyway .

Companies have put us their tariffs by between 5 and 8 per cent, EDF recently put a whopping 8 per cent on electricity. Money supermarket are doing one of their deals but you have to be signed up to the site by next Monday, also Avro Energy, I have one year deal with them at the moment with no exit penalties, its pointless going to your current supplier as I tried this when my fix ended and they didn't want to know about the better deals I could get, although they were cheap when I fixed with them..First Utility

Utility Warehouse. That's where I get my phone and energy. Can't find anywhere cheaper.

A projected £220 increase is like 15%, I paid £1500 this year. Which to be fair, is sort of high anyway. Old boiler and an absolute ****tonne of tech . But still... 15% in 2 years?

is this because of the weak pound? Is this all Brexit's fault again?

OR is it WOMEN using HAIRDRYERS and curlers and washing machines and vibrators and whatnot and driving up demand for electricity country wide. I bet it is. Where's Truth. He'll know.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who pays that much for energy, we are always dubbed "high users" when I do comparisons I blame my boys and their tech toys
