Hope they do. OPEC reduced production as well which may have had an effect.
Not happy our commercial landlord has signed us up for a "great deal" for the next 2 years electricity at 32p per kw/h!!!
Just as prices are coming down! It helped us last time being on a fixed deal but certainly not now.
Going to install an oil boiler in work and confiscate all the staff's fan heaters! Even buying them thick fleeces didn't work - they insist they are cold below 23C
You need to move the kettle to the far, coldest end of the building, and insist they go for a break every hour, when they get back they think they're in an oven...Not happy our commercial landlord has signed us up for a "great deal" for the next 2 years electricity at 32p per kw/h!!!

And 32p isn't bad compared to what its been, pretty sure my supplier has just dropped it to 30 though.
I am sure women have caused global warming

That's no surprise ,they cause most things.I am sure women have caused global warming
That's electricity by the way, I'm not getting heating oil for 20p.
However and just as an aside, electricity on Sunday was 9.27p/kWh.

Business electric prices are still quite high. Often including a huge standing charge of around £500 per quarter. Just signed up to a year's contract that was just below 30p day and a bit less that 25 for night but, if you have no standing charge, or a moderate standing charge, I wouldn't feel too ripped off. Just because prices are falling, doesn't mean your landlord will have the option to wait around for better times; they'll want to lock in a contract price so they can let tennants know what the price will be for the coming year. And indeed reduce the risk of price spikes meaning tennants aren't able to pay.Not happy our commercial landlord has signed us up for a "great deal" for the next 2 years electricity at 32p per kw/h!!!

You should use the raised prices to harangue the landlord to invest in infrastructure.

Which tariff is this……and I assume you need a working smart meter for this
Oil seems stuck at 56ppl. I saw it as low as 54ppl but I dont think it will reach my target to buy of high 40s so I think I will need to revise that. Maybe 2000l now and another 1500 come September before the prices inevitably rise.
Coal seems to have reached a low too. I think the cheapest is £14.50 per 25kg bag

Interested too.
Our electric is far too high but I cant figure the reason. We do have 3phase but I dont think that means we pay more.

Im swaying with solar and batteries for our holiday cottages with a charge point, had a few with leccy cars…but seems a longish payback still, even if it is 100% tax deductible
Use a forklift battery. Far far cheaper than lithium ion. Much bigger capacity. And when it dies in 10 to 20 years time you will get a lot back in scrap lead.
I have acres (almost) of south facing shed roof. And in the shed there would be room for batteries. There is a 3p distrbution board in there that is fed from the meter with 35mm2 4 core (i think). It appears to lend itself to this but I just dont have the money to outlay on it currently

If you can get a decent setup, it's worth considering just selling back to a company. I'm just wiring up 40kwp, while we do use a chunk, and more than they'll produce in winter, I'm not likely to fork out for batteries now as the buy back rate via SEG system is as much as 15p/kWh. via octopus, apparently. At that price, if I used no electric myself, and sold it all, payback would be about 4years. But my install is cheaper than some as it is quite DIY.
