NEDBOD POD UPDATED ENERGY SPECIAL : AUG 2022
A SPECIAL BONUS PODCAST which has just been updated to reflect the MASSIVE hike in Gas, Electricity & Petrol and Diesel Charges and to question why there is a huge difference in price by the same petrol companies ON THE SAME DAY FROM THE SAME COMPANY.
Shell Wakefield & Shell Clayton West nr Denby Dale were 15p per litre or 68p per gallon cheaper than Shell Macclesfield.
Gas and Electricity bills are set to rise to over £3500 a year from October less a £400 rebate but this is not to be passded on as a lump sum it is as follows :
£66 in October 2022
£66 in November 2022
£67 in December 2022
£67 in March 2023
£67 in March 2023
£67 in March 2023
-----------------------------
TOTAL = £400
-----------------------------
But you only receive this automatically if you pay your bills by Direct Debit and most Energy Companies have ignored the rebate when the monthly calculate the increase in your direct debit. SO FIGHT BACK AND DEMAND A DECREASE IN YOUR DIRECT DEBIT RIFGHT BOW !!
Martin Lewis discusses how much Energy Bills are set to rise following the hike in the wholesale price of gas from the usual 40-50p per therm to 400 TO 500p per therm, causing twelve companies to go bust already Utilty Point and Avro Energy with over 1.5 million customers having to be migrated to a NEW supplier by Ofgem (with an "M" not an "N"). This time around customers will NOT, I repeat NOT be kept on any fixed rate deal they had with with their old "BUST" supplier (despite what Allan Beswick may say, he was wrong by the way) their tariffs will increase SIGNIFICANTLY up to 3 times the gas rate, or more depending who takes over their supply. Then on 1 April 2022 the government energy cap is set to rise still further to approximately £1660 to £1700 PER YEAR depending on how much gas a family / individual uses. Hard times ahead. Spreadsheet Pete tries to get to the bottom of it as does BOND, Ed Bond 006 :) Enough to destroy the WINDMILLS of YOUR MIND. He lives in HOPE though, says Ed. That is Hope, Derbyshire ha ha ha. Steven Fitzpatrick founder of Ovo Energy now the third largest with 4.6 million customers talks about "hedging" and why so many small companies are going BUST. Finally Kwasi Kwarteng talks to Andrew Marr about how well the government are looking after both domestic and businesses during this energy crisis with a final thought from Sonja a customer who has NEVER switched companies in 30 years of owning home with her husband John & BESWICK has severe memory failure when I point out quite a few inconsistancies in his previous RANT !!!
