Hot water & heating charge increase?
Did your charges increase from 1.5 pence per kilowatt-hour to 22.4 pence per kilowatt-hour?
(multiplied by 15)
I know at least two Ballymore buildings with communal gas boilers have seen announcements about big increases in their bills

from January.
But many of you rely on similar communal heating systems where your hot water & heating come from communal gas boilers usually in your basement (or from a local district heating facility like on Tiller)
I want to find out how many of you are affected by big

to the relevant authorities
This is another example of how new buildings work not being thought through or regulated (price cap does not apply)
Ballymore's supplier bought gas when it was cheap, now because of supply shortages across Europe (& the lack of storage in the UK)

it is not, so the 22.4 pence may come down in the future as new supplies are opened up but when?
It shows that they did not hedge their purchases and the uncompetitive nature of some big developments that lock you into suppliers
Monopolies in other words

For example, my hot water (I have my own hot water overnight storage heater) and heating is done by electricity which I have more control over, can switch off or change suppliers

It does appear different buildings using the same supplier are being charged quite different new rates as well
I assume the charges include maintenance & other costs not just gas but the rates vary from 22 p to 30 p per kWh so something else must be going on
