I agree with both points. If they think the unit price is too complicated for people to understand, they should be putting some effort into explaining it. Not only for budgeting, if we want people to reduce consumption then understanding their usage is an essential step.Psamathe wrote: ↑29 Sep 2022, 10:55am I think the capped yearly bill per household is a very bad over-simplification that would confuse some.

(My not fully understanding was in part because I already use minimum so not a lot I can do to reduce so "it is what it is" but I did some Googling several months ago and nowwhere then could find the capped /kWh price. Things have improved recently).

On the second point - it took ages after the cap was announced for the unit prices to be published, I don't understand the delay. I'd have thought one must have been based on the other, but given where the announcement came from, it might have just been plucked out of the air.
