I'm not going to get into too much of a sweat about my energy bills this winter (even on VDD) as I was fortunate to be able to stash some money into 'Ernie' prior to last winter anticipating I'd have to use a good chunk of that. As it turned out EPG and EBSS + general household energy reduction meant I was not that much worse off than the heady days of 2020 before the proverbial hit the fan.
Without doubt the single determinant as to my winter fuel consumption (esp gas) will be dependent on Mother Nature. If our heating needs to be on, it goes on at whatever the thermostat is set to (currently 17.5C -18C during the day). If the same consumption takes place over the next 12 months (as per the last) then I'll be expecting to cough up in the region of £1400 between 1st August 2022 - 31st July 2023 on my current Fixed tariff (Loyalty v4). I don't expect it to be lower than this but am prepared for another 'Beast from The East' should this arrive.
