Forced by who?
Surely the cap is just a maximum?
Wheres the free market?

As you say they can charge the rate imposed but could stop the standing charge for example, £200/year gas, £200/year leccy...

Before the prices starting rocketing, my daily costs in summer would have maybe been 70p or so most days, including standing charge

In summer, it's really only the days when I put the washing machine on and the like when I'd maybe go over £1 a day

Even at current prices, doubt it's costing me much more than £1 a day...

Of course, it's all change at the end of the month when the price cap rockets, and it's due to rocket even more in January

And it's when the colder weather starts, and the heating etc goes on when my consumption really starts to rocket.

But I'm aiming for £2 a day or so between the 1st October hike and when the winter really comes in

A mid-sized LCD TV apparently uses 100 watts.

So if it's on for 10 hours per day, that's 1 kWh

So that was a maximum of 20p per day before the prices started to rocket.

At current prices, that's about 30p maximum.

After 1 October, probably 50p or so for the ten hours.

Most modern household bulbs are 10-15 watts or so, therefore cost insignificant unless you leave several of them burning non-stop

Mostly weve just stopped using the electric cooker once we got the air fryer

all sockets go off at bedtime, so no vampire useage, kettle 2 cups at a time

just done the leccy reading - 4kwh @ 28p in 24 hrs

gas no meter movement

Im toying with changing the Gas Fire and back bolier to a more efficient Regular gas boiler and then putting a wood burner stove back in the hearth where the Gas fire and Back Boiler was.....Might save some money long term but at least It'll leave me with heat in case of any energy shortages over winter.

A rather rich mate of mine had solar panels added to her 5 million pound home.

When they were fitted it was estimated she would get her money back within 10-12 years.

She had a phone call the other day saying that it would now be just over 4 years.
