"They're Having A Giraffe!" | Alex Phillips Hits Out At Household Energy Bills Rising For Winter

[@MrDuffnote]

The energy bills are paying for ALL the green crap....

[@Craig121000]

[@Wee_Langside]

When Ed Millibrain's low cost secure renewable electricity stops working on cold windless days you won't be paying anything for energy.

[@awalk5177]

Every household is paying a STANDING CHARGE of about one pound a day for the privilege of being connected to energy suppliers. That standing charge is the BULK of my monthly energy bill. I live alone as a pensioner and my monthly average is 58 pounds of which 30 pounds is standing charge, for WHAT ????? Scrap the Standing charges. The connections were made when the houses were built. Scrap road tax on cars, tax on insurance, tax on pensions. Why is an internet connection 40 pounds a month when it used be be 8 pounds ? Why is technology use becoming MORE EXPENSIVE when we know it is actually cheaper and more efficient ?

[@serenashaw-q3y]

I was out of the country for 4 months. I did hope I would have built up a credit going into winter. As it is, for an entirely empty house, using nothing, my bill is not much less! You are right, the standing charges are iniquitous.

[@edaleman2758]

There's a standing charge because infrastructure needs to be maintained if you're using it or not

[@awalk5177]

@@edaleman2758 A standing charge should NOT be 50% of your energy bill. That is insane. 30 pounds a month per household is not maintaining infrastructure, it is extortion.

[@edaleman2758]

@@awalk5177 you obviously have zero idea of maintenance costs. Stick to commenting on topics you have knowledge of

[@awalk5177]

@@edaleman2758 Ah , I see you are an advocate of not allowing people an opinion. Maybe you are a friend of our PM ? What I do know is that for every household in UK it does not cost 360 pounds a year to maintain the infrastructure to that house. Most energy companies are just selling the energy, be it gas or electricity. Which is why it is so easy to switch supply companies. It is not me who has no idea. Have you seen the energy company profits ? Think again.

[@alanpeters5221]

Paid £10500 for a solar battery 10.5 kwhsystem this year. Used a drawdown on my pension fund. At moment pay back time is 7 half years . Already made £900 in 7 months. i live near Sheffield . If government started a home installation company instead of wasting money on gbenegy the cost of installation in bulk buying could come down to about 5k to 6k per house. Offer a rental system or complete buy out . Flats could then be offered a share in profits to reduce their bills. If every house had a solar system then we not would need to install a completely new grid system with hundreds of new pylons. Also each individual house could be linked up to make a giant battery storage system . So no need to plow land to install mega gigabyte battery storage installation. We need forward thinking . Jointly we can work together for a better country

[@rosarose3443]

Lol if you have 5k. The way things are going the rest of us will have no heat or be able to cook.
