Re: SSE pay as you go costs
Why are you still with them? Have you compared Octopus or Coop (- if they are taking new customers.)

Re: SSE pay as you go costs

Standing charge of £200/year, ouch that's going to hit low users the hardest.

Re: SSE pay as you go costs
And that is what is so wrong with prepayment meters - those that can afford it the least and who are often forced to live in energy intensive housing are forced to pay the most, and in many cases can do absolutely nothing about it. To me it is morally wrong.
Re: SSE pay as you go costs
It is morally wrong. Then again the same can be said of tenants who are happy to skip leaving energy bills behind them 2 wrongs don't etc yet its about the only way to protect against the worst side of human nature. Shocking prices and I wish there was another way.marshman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 2:13 pm And that is what is so wrong with prepayment meters - those that can afford it the least and who are often forced to live in energy intensive housing are forced to pay the most, and in many cases can do absolutely nothing about it.

Re: SSE pay as you go costs
Agree re: tenants that "do the dirty" - one of the reasons I never got involved in buy to let. But to me that is really a separate issue, there are many other people in differing situations that a forced onto prepayment, often through no fault of their own which was my point. I do understand why landlords want/need their tenants to have prepayment, it is the tariffs that are wrong. If we have a mandated price cap then should be "fair", morally and economically across the board.Joeboy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 5:06 pmIt is morally wrong.

Re: SSE pay as you go costs
Agreed, the moment prepay isn't a monopoly (here its SSE) it may change.marshman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 6:38 pmAgree re: tenants that "do the dirty" - one of the reasons I never got involved in buy to let.

Re: SSE pay as you go costs
The price cap coming into force on 1st April is £1971 for a standard meter and £2017 for those with a prepayment meter so it appears that there isn't actually much difference now.
