Energy price cap could hit £5,000 if Ukraine war drags on.
WAR in Ukraine could push up energy bills to £5,000 by the autumn, ministers have been warned.
An initial assessment from Ofgem is understood to have told ministers that the energy price cap is currently on course to rise to around £2,400 in October.
But a Whitehall source said the energy regulator has warned it could jump to double that figure if the war disrupts global energy supplies.
'The central projection is for another 20 per cent rise to around £2,400. But because the situation is very volatile the range is very wide – it could be anywhere between £1,500 and £5,000 depending on the extent to which the war affects gas supplies.' |

Nothing beats the unprovoked nastiness from a pheasant plucker behind his keyboard aimed at those trying to advise and pre-warn others of what maybe a reality.
As for obsolete technologies, fossil fuels are the obsolescent, as the continued destruction of our planet by releasing further CO2 into the atmosphere to generate electricity, a complete waste of a useful product and has to stop although I gather that isn't something you'd care about.
As for the expected 30 year battery life, 35 year panel life and 7yrs inverter life (which still have 17yrs warranty remaining), I think you've missed the point.
These products will continue bring a benefit to the planet for years after I've left it and in years to come, humanity will be passed down to a generation that cares.
Strange that offline and others from here have headed advice for alternative forms of provision of energy that you seek to demean.
As for Fracking and being part of the group in Lancashire campaigning against it, it is a fallacy that will never happen.
Paid for upfront, paid for itself already and continues to give free energy, back up power during outages and protection from the high prices coming down the track, while the rest of the world is scrabbling for the limited supply of LNG.
"I'm alright Jack", but if offering to share 7yrs of learning experience I now pass on to others for financial rewards offends you, then why not just change the channel and let those who don't understand, want to learn and benefit, do so.
I guess the Green monster has taken over the keyboard and no doubt, normal service will resume soon! |

Maybe one way to reduce your bills would to try and use a bit less.
Had a leak in heating system a few weeks ago and had no radiators.
Put a jumper and coat on when it got too chilly, it was fine.
No real issues so have started to switch off heating a bit more instead of just expecting it to be on all evening.
Maybe have 3 day weeks, alternative days of gas supply, break out the bobble hats. |

Energy savings . . .
About 3 years ago we had a new kitchen fitted and the best decision we made at the time was to install an Induction Hob. It saves us on average about 74% of cooking costs, which lets face it energy used for cooking in any family household is a big spend item.
Induction cooks exactly like gas and is more controllable than gas in many ways (have a look online for how and why). Induction Hobs are the same price as gas and electric now, too.
Looking to save money and environmental output - cook induction. |

yep they are good but you have to replace your pots and pans too but a small price to pay.  |

In addition, we have just started a steady move to solar too. So far we have connected the output to two electric blankets one 55-inch TV and Sound Bar and the energy from a 100% full battery only goes to 55% for a night of Netflix in bed (about 5 hours) all thanks to the FREE power of the sun - one battery and one solar panel.
If you can make changes to how you use energy, you really should. |

Good point - all our pans are from IKEA and all were Induction when we bought them so we didn't need to do the extra cost at the time (luckily) |

Very much so - it is to cooking what LED is to halogen. Perhaps even more so.
Actually we might have gone a bit crazy on energy saving in the last 3 years, as all our appliances and lighting in controlled by smart plugs too lol. Quite few have schedules too. Plus on/off from anywhere in the world.
A little bit of thinking and planning goes a long way. |

You probably already do, but use a steam pan set and get the timings right, you can cook a full Xmas dinner using only one ring on it..
Buy two sets of stickers and use the main pan with 4x steamers stacked on top. |

"Have you seen just how big the batteries will need to be to store electricity 
And the fact that there have been more than a few explosions and fires!
"
I have 4x 10kwh batteries (40kw in total).
They weight 56kg each,
60cm wide 60cm deep 45cm high and stacked one on top of the other in the garage, about the same as a 3 drawer filing cabinet.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) are completely safe, can be crushed, drilled through, burnt with a blow torch and won't ignite, nor explode.
100% safe and small footprint.
They'll charge/discharge at 400amps around 20kw/per hour and last up to 30 years at which point they'll still hold 80% rated capacity. |

A DeWalt 18 volt reciprocating saw with an adaptor connecting Dildos and Fleshlights, like nothing else on the planet.
Remove cap, screw on adapter and enjoy variable speed of up to 2,900 cycles per minute at 28mm stroke length. Knocks socks off any 'fucking' machine!!
Just ensure plenty lube as friction burns are not good!! |

Agreed.
We are recent converts to induction and just wow…
That PLUS setting when you want a fast heat up… I would not have thought it possible that cold water could boil so quickly. |

Yeh, they're brilliant.
Have cooker induction and couple years ago LIDL was opening selling portable doubles for half price £24.99, the Sun was offering £10 off when spending £40.
Bought enough Sun's to cover 50 of them. Sold back on eBay for £69 each, leaving over £2k profit.
Kept top, one for camping, one for use next to the BBQ in garden.
They are awesome in a camper. Chuck in cupboard when not using. |

Sorry to disagree.
I tried to boil water from cold, took forever.
I suppose if I'd put the pan on the correct ring it may have been a tad quicker. |

Well, this winter it's coats, sleeping bags and hot water bottles for us.
I suppose I should figure out where the most power is used.
May have to revert back to washing dishes in the sink, maybe turning off central heating once sitting in a pool of sweat, maybe shorts and tee shirts on a freezing winter night could be replaced with winter attire.
Looking forward to the winter adventure. |
