I have just had my new tariff notification from Octopus. It has provided three optiions for 2022. My current payment for electricity only is £54 per month.
The first, is the really scary one, at £135 per month., with no discernible reason for opting for this given. The second is a variable starting at £66 per month. The third, a loyalty option (where I qualify as a long term customer), at £86 per month, fixed for year.
I went for the latter, but this is an increase of £32 per month, and looked a lot better than the mysterious and threatening £135 per month. This represents a 60% increase on the current year.
What I fail to understand is why when I opt for 100% renewable energy written into my contract, which is not subject to Russian control of gas supplies, or fossil fuel burning like oil to generate energy, it has increased by this amount. Can anyone provide an answer.
I really fear for those on tight incomes following the cut in UC, and remember, this is just one element in household outgoing costs going though the roof.
