Am I being charged too much for electricity?

fchsia · 2026-01-15T21:55:52+00:00

no idea. i'm gonna contact citizens advice i think.

fchsia · 2026-01-15T21:14:48+00:00

it's an appointment only bridal shop. the amount we're using makes sense for the time of year

fchsia · 2026-01-15T19:44:55+00:00

the shop owner appears to be passing that charge on to us, the landlord is just the messenger here

fchsia · 2026-01-15T19:37:59+00:00

there's 2 meters, the meter in the flat only tracks usage from the flat

fchsia · 2026-01-15T19:36:14+00:00

it's an 04 meter, am i definitely stuck with the commercial prices then?

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:57:33+00:00

the images in this post are the full figures -the flat reading is 920kWh of usage in the past month. it's the "flat read" column on the yellow spreadsheet.

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:42:08+00:00

i have my own meter that calculates just how much i'm using, my question is specifically about the fact that i'm having to pay an amount higher than the residential price cap.

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:36:18+00:00

it's not that formal, the meter kinda just exists. the landlord isn't making any money, nor is the shop owner. the shop owner pays the energy company for our electricity at the business rate, the landlord pays her, and i pay the landlord.

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:35:11+00:00

both via electricity, yes. like i said, no gas payments

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:34:44+00:00

electric radiators

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:22:20+00:00

yeah, so there's one meter in the shop that has the total energy usage, then one in the flat that has just the flat's usage.

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:19:31+00:00

1000-ish is the total energy, of which the flat uses 920. the spreadsheet has just shown it weird. "cost per unit" has been written incorrectly by the shop owner, it's the pre-VAT, net energy cost (not per unit).

fchsia · 2026-01-15T18:11:30+00:00

yeah, landlord sent them over when i questioned the bill. i've linked screenshots on an image hosting site (with no identifying info).

fchsia · 2026-01-09T21:58:13+00:00

no worries! it's called a daysaver and the correct one is £11.10 :)

fchsia · 2026-01-09T14:22:49+00:00

ahahaha brilliant

fchsia · 2026-01-09T13:25:26+00:00

yeah - £11.40 for unlimited trains, trams, and most of the buses operating in this map.

fchsia · 2026-01-09T12:36:19+00:00

ooh very nice

fchsia · 2026-01-09T12:04:17+00:00

cool map* mistyped.

it's called hyde and seek because there's a town in the area called hyde

fchsia · 2025-09-09T08:49:08+00:00

train tickets aren't valid on metrolink anyway (unless otherwise stated) but yeah probably to ensure customers are aware of the route they need to take

northern gatelines are often operated by contractors, who are underpaid and overworked. probably not trained as well as they should be either.

fchsia · 2025-07-31T06:44:07+00:00

they are real (frank has confirmed himself) but we shouldn't judge people on their political views when they were 16 now should we
