Divide that by 12 and it will give you a rough idea of what your DD should be.
Someone using the average amount of power will pay £2500. You are possibly using more than average so will pay more"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/48594815","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"MonkeyMan90"},"datePublished":"2022-11-03T19:41:30.000Z","text":"The price cap doesn't mean that is the maximum you can pay regardless of how much energy you use. They used the wrong term when they said price cap. Because the price isn't capped. If you use more than £2500 worth then you will pay more."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/48597040","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ashmac"},"datePublished":"2022-11-04T01:57:09.000Z","text":"I’m in shock when I see these prices !

The \"limit\" is based upon an average households usage. An average house will use, in a year, approx. £2,500 worth of fuel.
If you are a small household or very energy efficient you will use less. A large household or less energy efficient you will use more - without limit."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/48594920","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SteJosh"},"datePublished":"2022-11-03T19:52:52.000Z","text":"Octopus changed mine to £300 for this month.

I'm currently in arrears anyway, due to incorrect billing caused by them having had my E7 day/night reversed when I was transferred to them, and me putting in the readings the correct way around, so the extra will probably clear the debt by the time the price guarantee ends at which point it will probably need going up again anyway."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/48604792","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tonymgx"},"datePublished":"2022-11-04T21:28:20.000Z","text":"Unfortunately this is a misunderstand alot of people are making, it's going to be a shock when actual bills come in for people"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/48607959","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"gobble_bobble"},"datePublished":"2022-11-05T10:58:22.000Z","text":"just switch to a prepay or pay as you go meter (yes there is a difference) and be done with it."}],"commentCount":26,"interactionStatistic":15,"articleSection":"Ask"}
