Typical domestic energy bills could hit more than £3,300 a year this winter, according to the latest forecasts.
Cornwall Insight said that the typical domestic customer was likely to pay £3,244 a year from October, then £3,363 a year from January. The typical bill at present is about £2,000 a year.
"However, with the announcement of the October cap only a month away, the high wholesale prices are already being baked in to the figure, with little hope of relief from the predicted high energy bills."

I'm sure Cornwall Insight is reputable source. |

Funny you should say that, they've been almost spot on for years..
Two months ago, Lewis spouting they were claiming 22% max and people should stop scare mongering.
Then uplifted to 45%, last week another source told BBC at least 55% and Cornwall today, 62% at 11th hour. They use the same criteria as OFCOM.
So, I'd take at the value stated, between 62% and 70% as wholesale still high and issues of delivery.
But hey, what the fuck do I know.. |

You seem to be getting a little over excited about something you have no control over |

"No control, really 
Ok then take control and reduce them in sure the British public will be forever grateful to you as will the rest of the world."
The French Government have taken decisive action in the face of the crisis. |

Listening to the Tory candidates putting themselves forward for leader of the trough it's extremely concerning that none of them seem to be discussing this. Too busy dancing around what's a man what's a woman and debating the NI rise which in grand scheme of things is chicken feed.
Energy bills are the biggest pressing issue in Britain right now and it needs taken right in hand yesterday as this cannot be allowed to continue. The bills need to come down. Not rise,.not even stay the same, they need to come DOWN but there just seems to be a shoulder shrugging mentality by everyone saying oh well, it is what it is.
It's not good enough |

Absolutely..
Instead, they prefer to start a Tax reduction bidding War where the only one talking any kind of sense is Sunak. The £Billions the pandemic cost, the £Billions given to Ukraine. They'll get in then announce it was a 'fairy tale' and not possible.
Where the hell is this money coming from?
The Windfall snatch on Energy companies should have been two fold. To help those or all of us with the £400 and others in dire need, then create a fund offering low cost finance options for those who'd benefit from renewables but simply can't afford them.
This would not be a hand out, money paid back, reused and in 10years put to other good causes.
I'm sure many would snatch hands of to access electricity at 15p/kwh, especially after October. The Loan could be paid back at this rate until satisfied.
More renewables means less gas demand, wholesale reduces and price of both gas and electricity falls as 50% our electricity is from gas burning. Instead of being in fields, panels on roofs where the resident benefits from very cheap power - not investment companies now raking in on higher electricity prices blighting the countryside and denying crop growing space.
I've not bought in more than 80kwh from Grid since beginning of May, thats charging a car, free Hot Water and yesterday ran three Air Conditioners at full power for 6 hours, 2 loads of washing and tumble dryer - all for nothing.
Last rolling 12 months, I've consumed 2,900kwh Gas which includes Winter as heating is from renewables in Spring and Autumn.
But no, your right, only interested in their own self righteous preservation. |

As for the short sighted smart remark above.
I've written to:
Ed Davy
Energy Secretary plus shadow
Environment Secretary plus shadow
Wallace- my MP
Greenpeace
Green Party
BBC, ITV, Channel 4, number newspapers.
Many more..
Over boiler manufacturing legislation to stop brand new boilers being sold and installed that consume 20% more gas than they should.
Over renewables funding options and numerous other issues and yet to receive a single reply. Locally, councillor's say they are good workable ideas and solutions who also try to raise them internally and again stonewalled.
So, as for the quip, what's the point when no fucker is listening?
At least I've tried to help the British people. Unfortunately, the fault lies with the tossers running the country that refuse to listen and convey.
Myself, my boilers tuned up and savings were immediate. I generate my 90% of my own power that paid for itself over 5 years of savings.
Our local council now has a "Climate Change Officer". Tried to make contact over education on renewables for local people for free. Offer rejected as currently busy "measuring how much electricity can be obtained from kids bouncing on trampolines"!! They've funded a trampoline Park in Blackpool for a study.
The mind boggles, but at least I've tried..
