Electricity and gas prices

Important message for residents:

Because of the BNO-status of our Estate (see the Electricity page for more information) our electricity supply is deemed to be commercial and currently does not qualify for the domestic price cap. Instead we qualify for the commercial discount which is not as favourable as the domestic price cap.

The £400 discount was also an issue but following lobbying, particularly by park home and houseboat owners help may be at hand - see this article and this link to the Government announcement. We await further announcements as to how the £400 discount will be paid to households like ours that are ‘off grid’.

Similarly the gas supply to the boilers that provide our hot water (and the supply to gas hobs where fitted) are also deemed to be a commercial supply, coming under ‘district/communal’ systems. This is an issue affecting thousands of flats, most of whom are reliant on ‘district heating’ systems for their heating. See this recent BBC article for more information.

Our neighbours at One West India Quay are in a similar position, being also a BNO and with a district heating system.

Whenever you see this issue raised we urge residents to respond (retweet, email, comment etc) to try to ensure households like ours are not forgotten. Thank you.
