54% represents the average price cap increase across all tariffs.
Living in rural Cornwall, away from the gas grid we have Night store heaters ( new efficient thermostatic window aware etc German). Before the increase the tariff was 7.56p/kWh.
It is now over 17.5p/kWh, an increase of 132%.
80% of our electricity use is heating. With a possible 32% cap increase in the autumn, heating 4 nsh will be almost £560/month. Without lights, cooking etc.
