Benefits ‚trickling down‘ from energy providers to customers.
Before everyone rattles off.
Private companies are not obligated to lower their prices. If they were we wouldn’t need energy credits.
Electric Ireland is the only state run one, even their prices leave a lot to be desired.
Consumer prices will remain high, they need to pay their staff more pennys and the leadership need their bonuses for a significant shafting goals met.
Is it fucked?
– Yes.
What’s the solution?
– not ranting on social media and actually raising these points with your elected officials
Even the politicians I dislike?
– yes, they want a preference, they should put the work in.
What else?
– get involved or setup a movement or protest group and put the effort in
Ah but I’m busy and not arsed
– then don’t expect change

Whereas domestic pricing is composed of energy hedges over 18/12/6 months.
For example, gas prices rose 40% over just three weeks in January, and domestic pricing didn’t.

Hedging is why it didn’t go up, and hedging is why a one-month drop in wholesale pricing doesn’t mean it will go down.
Takes a year to be passed on to consumers.
Dynamic pricing is coming in June, so at least electric bills will drop for many people.
What bothers me about the energy market here is that contracts mean nothing. You get locked in for 12 months, but if prices go up they’ll just raise them on you, contract or not. Prices go down? Also no change
Honestly just wish they would honor contracts.
Considering the catastrophic gas bill I received this week, I’m assuming those savings won’t be passed on to customers
Could’ve fooled me
