Pay as you go Fuel cap – Electricity

Pay as you go Fuel cap – Electricity

I’ve just had my quote from Scottish power now that the Fuel cap comes into force in April.

current Kwh 14.404p ......new KWh 13.740p a saving of 0.664p per unit

Not bad you might think as last year I used 3,472 units so should save - £23.05p

NO CHANCE

First the standing charge has gone up---

from 27.39p per day to 28.76p per day

an increase of £5.00 per year -----OK so my savings will now be £18.05p per year

No Chance

They have decided to take away the Duel Fuel Discount for pre-payment customers ONLY meaning you lose another £5.25 per fuel.

I don’t think this was the intention of the government when they introduced this CAP.

Whats this cap??

Are you really paying 14p/kWh?? Are you on a card meter or something?

Yes, a pre-payment meter. The government told the energy companies that there is going to be a MAX price they could charge - the Price Cap.

Here is a quote from the npower letter about it that I received yesterday for a pre-payment electric meter.

Current unit price 16.790p new unit price 13.734p

Standing charge per day 11.508p new charge 28.760p
