Of nine suppliers. their customers will now pay a more expensive tariff in line with the price cap. surviving firms say they are having to buy wholesale energy at a much higher price than the retail cap allows them to sell it for it. we re we re really we re really worried about making sure customers get through this period so i don t think anyone is asking for the price cap to be increased again. it is what it is, we are doing our best to get customers through it, we are trying to support well run business to see this period and otherwise if we need to do anything else we are talking to do anything else we are talking to government. analysts say companies extra costs will be reflected when the cap is revised in the spring, at a level likely to be significantly more expensive for bill payers. kevin peachey, bbc news. dale vince is the owner of the green energy company ecotricity ....
Thank you very much for being with us. what would you say this whole crisis on gas imports shows about our reliance on traditional forms of energy? t our reliance on traditional forms of ener: ? ~ , ., , ., , energy? i think it shows how utterly de endent energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are on energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are on fossil - energy? i think it shows how utterly dependent we are on fossil fuels - energy? i think it shows how utterly| dependent we are on fossil fuels and honest global markets notjust for the supply of those fuels but for the supply of those fuels but for the pricing of them because 50% of britain s gas at the moment comes in the north sea which is ours and we own that the price of the north sea gas has grown fivefold only because the global price has gone up by the same amount in the north sea operators are rapi ....
So our energy bills rise. the cost of heating and lighting our homes is limited by the price cap, but this is the biggest ever increase at a time when many household budgets are being squeezed. it affects people on standard tariffs in england, wales and scotland and generally those who haven t switched for a long time, or whose time limited tariffs have expired. the new cap means they will now pay £1,277 a year if they use an average amount of gas and electricity that s £139 a year more on their bill than under the previous cap. prepayment meter customers face a higher typical bill of £1,309 a year that s an increase of £153 on the previous time. those who use more than the average amount of energy in their homes will face bigger bills because the policy caps price, not the total bill. those affected are normally encouraged to switch suppliers for a cheaper deal. this time of the massive rise in the cost of wholesale gas in recent weeks has stripped the market of better offers. ....
Way it is actually by the planet? the mission is named after an italian scientist called colombo, we have decided to honour him with our mission, give his name to our mission, give his name to our mission because he has been a person who inspired nasa on the trajectory, the way to bring spacecraft to mercury. it is very difficult to get into orbit around mercury because it is surrounded by energy, to adjust the visibility of the crab so it can enter orbit, and he had the idea of combining planetary flybys like the one we are doing now to get there. he has played a very important role in the exploration of mercury by spacecraft and tomorrow it is dot mac it would have been his 101st birthday. it is a great way to honour him. it is a big day ....
Issue than energy poverty. you why does the government isn t like that because is inconsistency and ad hoc nature to the way the country is being run. nature to the way the country is being run- being run. what is the advice to eole being run. what is the advice to people who being run. what is the advice to people who are being run. what is the advice to people who are going being run. what is the advice to people who are going to - being run. what is the advice to people who are going to see i being run. what is the advice to i people who are going to see their bills shooting up because in the old days the advice was to switch what it is much harder to switch now. because the id you can simply switch and get a better deal and avoid realities of global pricing all of thatis realities of global pricing all of that is a bit of smoke and mirrors for consumers, you know, and it is no wonder people feel bamboozled and confused in the energy market. these prices are the real prices ....
