The UK 'energy price cap' is reducing in April, so bills are expected to go down.

But... for me, my My estimated saving is tiny, because...

"Gas standing charge increased from 14.799p 31.624p per day. "

Ofgem sets new price cap prompting calls for energy bill help

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64748135

What a waste of space Ofgem are.

Given the price of gas, the cap could have at the very least been left unchanged, if not cut, rather than increased.

We've all been paying over the odds for months already here in the UK.

#Ofgem cuts #EnergyPriceCap to £3,280, but bills still set to rise in April – business live - https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2023/feb/27/ofgem-energy-price-cap-bills-april-guarantee-ftse-pound-brexit-business-live

So, Ofgem have increased the energy price cap again, though it won't have a direct effect on consumers due to the govt support until April.

But on what basis has Ofgem done this? Wholesale gas prices have dropped to levels below what we saw in 2021.

"You know what? Send those bills to Moscow!"

#Zensursula #VonDerLeyen shows once again - but more extreme than ever - how detached from citizens' lifes both she and the whole #EuropeanCommission are when attacked by Manon #Aubry on what exploding energy prices do to people - and what the #EU needs to do about it.
