The cap was a major error, especially in an area where the market is global, and has contributed to this crisis by altering the balance of supply and demand.
The government is reported as looking for some way of protecting the lower paid and leaving the rest to the vagaries of the markets in the long term. Keeping a cap in place will only add to the long-term issues as global markets the companies buy supplies in do not have caps. Government cannot nationalize a global market |

When I am away for any length of time, I do turn down the thermostat... But I would not for just, say, a day out, as I would prefer the house already up to temp when I got back...

Interested to know others gas usage?
Over winter my smart meter has been telling me I range between 25-60 kwh for gas per day - the difference almost all down to how cold it is outside. 4 bed house.. What are others seeing? |

Totally impossible to make a comparison and 25-60kwh per day is a massive range. In fact my gas usage for the year is between 10 and 65 kWh per day let alone winter.

That's amazingly low, I persume a newish house? 145kWh per day average gas usage for December, similar to last year. 5 bed bungalow, very efficient boiler but the rooms are as well insulated as a cardboard box. Electricity usage interesting was less than 20kWh per day, and that includes charging the EV. Its the doubling of the gas prices that's going to really hammer everyone come next winter. |

Yes.
Goes down to around 10-12 kWh per day in summer when we only use gas for hot water and cooking. Winter max is 65kwh. Elec is around 12kwh per day rising slightly to around 15 in winter. Quote:

We have dual zone Nest and a un-vented cylinder thing for all our hot water, and because there's only two of us it does give us all our hot water for showers and kitchen tap usage based on a single 30 min boost - so apart from the 30 mins for that at 2130 everynight the only gas we use in any quantity is the house heating. Currently sat here now, both zones are 19 degrees - heating has been on for 3.5hrs around 9am to get the house to 21 and its dropped 2 degrees since around 11am... |

I'm amazed anyone can run a home on around 5kWh per day these days, how do you do it? No washing machine/dryers, dish washer, freezers or cooking?
Our 4-bed detached home works out between 9 - 10kWh per day average, over the year. Plus the heating/water. |

Our weekend retreat / holiday home in Anglesey uses 1.5-2kWh per day when empty - just the fridge and fridge/freezer, a couple of low energy light bulbs on hive timer, and the central heating boiler / hive system (it's oil fired heating), and that's very limited running when it's set at 13C !
Not sure how a 'proper' occupied house can run on 5kWh per day |
