So i have two energy accounts, one electric one gas sadly both my contracts ended at a simlar time recently, so i am in the fire.
However i do not need any assistance, thanks to careful ,management of my monies over many years.
Still I will get £400 quid into my account, useful to pay for the excess energy that my swimming pool will consume in. The autumn
But I have two accounts so will I get £200 each or £400?
with my expert knowledge of the Energy industry I know they have not a clue!
Another splash it all about from the magic money tree

It’s paid on the electric.

I’ve no idea how one of my situations will work.

Have 5 residential properties let out at farm. All electric comes through one main meter. I pay that bill and charge the 5 properties for their usage via my own private sub meters.

Contract for my meter is on a consumer tariff, not a business tariff. Contract fixed until dec 22.

So probably one “payment” that will in effect be shared between 5 properties

I expect so. One domestic meter so one £400 payment.
 
Someone please explain to me why UK customers are paying effectively over £300 per MWh and the wholesale price of electricity is what exactly?

At £200/MWh Hinkley point C will be hopping mad they are only getting their £90MWh strike price which I seem to remember caused some political kerfuffle at the time it was announced.

Heady days indeed. Markets always always overshoot though.

I agree but I do note and smile that suddenly all the protests about building new reactors have died a death and apparently splitting atoms is now acceptable.
Yeah, see my earlier post bout flipflopping. I know you’re always banging on about nuclear and I’ve largely come round to accepting that there really isn’t a realistic alternative now given the obsessive political/media parameter of carbon = bad. The parameter’s pretty stoopid but hey ho no one can currently swim against the carbon tsunami currently so nuclear it is. The timescales involved and the targets to be met don’t actually line up in this universe but again hey ho.

But also, even though carbon is king, a heck of a lot of people are demanding more fossil fuel extraction just cos money Is tight. It’s like we can’t concentrate…

I agree. With the construction rate the UK should be carbon free by about 2150 so the problem will be truly solved eventually. I am sure we will all sleep better tonight with this knowledge.

I think you’re optimistic with 2150 but I suspect you imply that. "Carbon free/neutral" lol. A huge part of the problem is the completely random choices of 1.5 degC and 2050. Only in the world of politics and committees can such targets make any sort of "sense". Or indeed targets as a word make any sort of sense.
