im sat here with a notification ive just opened from powergen, it says my unit ammounts going up to 19.8 pence per kilowatt hour for the first 900 kw/hours then 9.66 pence per kilowatt hour after that...
now the last time i checked the unit ammount it was december 2004 and there was a pre pay card meter here which always means youl pay a higher unit ammount, it was 6.75 per kw/hour with a 50 pence per week standing charge, i even went and found the old bill to prove it.
the pre payment meter is no longer here so i was hoping that the cheaper unit price for paying a normal bill would absorb a little of the price increases but this is just insane.
now i know energy prices are increasing, im not expecting it to be free but surely this cant be the future for us ? im seriously worried about whether we are going to be able to afford it when the bill comes this winter. im almost too scared to check on what the gas unit price is at. it used to be 2.82 pence per unit.
EDIT:
THIS GETS MY GOAT!

Rising UK electricity prices have generated bumper profits for Drax Group, the owner of Europe's largest coal-fired power station.
The company reported pre-tax profits of £317m ($593m) for the first half of the year, up from £13m a year ago.

as you can see, the price increases are 20% market driven 80% bull **** energy companys.
