That’s a bit off. Myself and Dusty aren’t being subsidised by taxpayers. British Gas are taking the hit. Now Bulb customers……… say no more and prepare to dive. 😱 🤿

Hi John like you we are with Octopus we also have £165 in credit we put our DD up to £145 we receive a email telling us about higher prices and other email your payment due soon and we are very happy with there service
I can’t find out why BULB customers are being subsidised? Most unfair on the rest of us🤬🤬🤬
Aren’t they still on their agreed contracts and HMG putting £1.7bn as the initial likely price to keep Bulb going. But since then prices have risen even more and the FT reported that HMG input could increase. Without HMG input Bulb would be liquidated and customers transferred to other companies with their contracts cancelled.
The Administration are looking to sell Bulb.

Thank goodness we are with Bulb. They could change their tarriffs at any time, so I have no idea why they have not done so. April 1st up 54%. Still happy with the price.
Just bought a Kamado BBQ from Aldi. As gas prices going up.

I think it must be the shear size of Bulb following on from the previous numbers transferred from the myriad of other failed companies. There has to be limits to how many loss making customers you can impose on the remaining companies as most seem to have been sent to the Big 6, which could force them into extreme difficulty. So ring fencing Bulb as a certain logic although selling Bulb may not be successful.
Very sexy and one of Aldi’s most expensive😁. At 75 kgs can your Coachman payload cope😜😜
No - when Avro went bust we had a 50% increase as we were put on Octopus's standard variable tariff and now another 50% rise in April.
I think it's wrong that Bulb customers were allowed to remain on their fixed price contracts - IMO they should have been transferred to a standard variable tariff.
Actually the prices were escalating before the nutter decided he wanted everything.
I’ve noticed that some around us who have been WFH for neigh on two years now have returned to WATO. Could it be a trade off between home heating costs or commuting costs?

Apologies I could have used the more common abbreviation of WFO. But WATO came from my grandson who himself is considering WFO if they will allow his 15 month Vizla at the office.

Bulb are not fixed tarrifs they are a varaible one and can change up or down at any time.
Tariffs and contracts
Bulb Energy only has one tariff. The company says it wants to keep things simple and it’s fair to say that in only offering a single tariff it is doing exactly that. The tariff is variable and moves with wholesale energy prices so when they go up, it will too. Bulb will give you 60 days’ notice when that’s going to happen, though. And when wholesale energy prices go down, so will Bulb’s single tariff.
The downside of only offering one tariff is that there’s no fixed rate. If knowing you’ll be paying the same amount each month is the most important thing for you, then you might want to look elsewhere.
There is no minimum term with Bulb’s contracts. So rather than being tied in for 12 or 18 months when you sign up, you’ll be free to switch away if you find a better deal elsewhere.
But that still doesn't explain why BULB customers got a £1.7bn HMG subsidy whilst the rest of us were left to fend for ourselves 😥😥
Just look on it as a form of recycling your tax payments.
The ultimate form of recycling.One of the CL sites we've booked for our Scottish tour has emailed to notify us of a pitch fee increase from £15 to £18 "due to the unprecedented increase in energy costs".
I understand the principle but think that a £3/night increase is excessive.

I would be more than happy at that, get real everything is going up in price., water rates, etc.
Roger I wrote elsewhere on here about our CL near Harrogate last week. Thy use metered pay as you use electric. Last year we spent £2,50 24 hours. Same period this year £5.50 most days. Full heater etc as very cold. I think your CL charge is reasonable for the current situation.
This isn't £3 for electric (which would be reasonable) - it's a £3 INCREASE above the previous rate which included electric.
In the present economic climate increases in living expenses is showing this in every area of life. Why anyone should be surprised that site fees will not also reflect this .
At present at home with heating, washing machines etc we are using on average £4.50 so I agree that £3 for summer months is excessive.
Aha, so it’s a summer trip. However CLs have seen an increase in their own costs eg waste disposal etc, I suspect some CLs are concerned about continuing rising costs . Maybe some have had a knee jerk reaction but looking into future costs can’t be easy with all the unknowns today.
