As the previous year, my energy bill was minimal in 2025. I didn’t keep any good records of the actual costs for 2025. Roughly speaking, my fixed costs were £272 in standing charges and I figure I’ve paid £255 in energy costs on top of that
My total net energy bill for the year was around £255 – £21.25/month (£43.93/month if you include the standing charges)
In 2022, my monthly energy direct debit was £200/month. In 2023 I increased it to £250/month. This remained at £250/month in 2024 (first full year with solar) as I wasn’t sure what impact the solar panels would have on costs. In 2025, I reduced the direct debit to £100/month. For 2026, I have reduced it again to £50/month. Considering prices always seem to rise I’m quite happy that I’ve been able to reduce my outgoings
