Hopefully we get a mild April, the £66 / month ends plus another 20% on unit costs https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64748135

Latest monthly gas and elec £360 ex the £66 and that running the thermostat at 17c. About 10kw day elec, 60kw gas. Hopefully, thats the winter peak with milder weather

Natural gas prices fall further, now at April 2021 levels. Surely must bode well for next winter...

Hopefully in the end energy will be cheaper with renewables, transition will cost but with it we'll get energy security

Well the thing I would say is even though the gas price has dropped a lot we won't see the benefit as the government subsidy falls away. Unit price may actually peak in April, thankfully this is over the summer period when consumption drops a lot.

The word on the street is high bills are here to stay for foreseeable ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64270157

Wholesale gas prices are falling but looks like in April per unit prices will actually rise as government assistance falls away https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64162811

Looks like Johnson's ridiculous idea of a nuke a year is about to be buried forever https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-63507630 Its almost like they're trying to get a grip

All this faux blaming the French for the border delays at Dover. We love them really... Oh and things are going so well, here a £20B contract to build us another Nuc power plant Merci beaucoup!!!

One of Labour's flagship policies needs to be to mass insulation of the UK buildings, both private and public. No brainer The thinking from some that UK fracking or new oil / gas exploration will solve our current issue is for the birds.

Consumption Down about 20 percent in this past decade and still falling, land will be freed up

Maybe we should consider green gas from anerobic digestion from grass cuttings. This is a real project being built in Reading but bizarrely gets very little press https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-61696033

Not sure what you're asking. But Onshore wind of the cheapest way to add capacity to the grid. NUC's take a decade to plan, a decade to build and a decade to get the embedded carbon back. Best case 25 years to carbon neutral, we don't have 25 years...

To be honest whoever builds NUC's they are the most expensive form of new energy possible. Misguided, expensive with the toxic legacy for our kids and grandkids We'd be better off spending £20B insulating the most leaky dwellings in northern Europe.

Taking back control... £20bn Sizewell C nuclear plant gets the green-light: Government gives French giant EDF (French government) go-ahead to build power station on Suffolk coast...

Windfall tax looks inevitable now. The government will go ahead with one but for all the wrong reasons. They will do it only because they realise its popular They don't govern they just campaign

There are a handful suppliers in the renewables area that are not bound by the price cap. One such provider is up to 37p for elec and 8.8p for gas. This is a good indicator where things are heading. Still the primary producers coining it in and will do for the foreseeable

We do need to "take back control" and remove ourselves from reliance on the world wide price of energy. As things stand the like of Shell (the worlds biggest privately own gas producer) has us by the short and curlies, we just have to pay the market price but in our own north sea nothing has...
