Exactly this, it's what I've been screaming out, every time energy compayclaim wholesale prices have been rising. Like it's googleable information and they're just wrong. I'm on amber and wholesale prices, they definitely ain't going up
I've been on a fixed rate contract for the last 6 months - locked it in just before the price hike. It's been an absolute life saver as I'm on a very low income at the moment.
My retailer does at least charge the variable charges at cost based on the half-hourly rates (they make all their profit off a monthly fee), so I do see some of the benefit of it immediately (although we do have to make sure we don't use much power during price spikes).
Have you looked at your bill and seen how much of your bill is actually power usage and not administrative charges or grid connection fess?
The FY2024 numbers would only be the average prices during July - August 2023. We still have 10 months of price movements for the 2024 numbers to be the final results and this Summer is probably going be hit with a lot of energy usage from air conditioning...
You got me lol.
