Hi @patsysbliss, how can we help you ? Would you like to give us an overview with what you mean about price hikes ?

Many are suffering real hardship, as while the government has provided a huge amount of help to virtually every household, the substantial energy price rises have made all of us worse off. Those who were just about keeping their heads above the break even line before this crisis have suffered the worst effects, and were least able to adapt and adjust.

Many here have tried to ensure that good advice on energy saving and cost saving have been made and communicated to all who were prepared to listen.

the future outlook is a bit grim with further price increases to come in April, but there are strong indications that prices will fall back from July onwards, plus we use the most energy in the winter which we’re almost through. There are grounds for some optimism.
it will still be quite tough for many for a considerable time to come. The effects of this crisis will take years to dissipate.
