The last price hike was only in March, and now I've just received a letter from Powergen telling me that the rates are going up yet again.
Effective from August 21 (prices include VAT):
Day rate: 18.43 pence per kWh for first 225 units
Then 11.05p/kWh for rest of quarter
Night rate: 4.99p/kWh.
It's only a couple of years ago that the day rate was around 7p. and night rate was less than 3p (although admittedly there was the £9 per qtr. standing charge then as well).
