This month we’re keen to hear about what static caravan and lodge owners pay per metered unit of electricity on their holiday parks.
We know from listening to holiday caravan owners that the amount can vary quite significantly from park to park. And due to inflation in recent years, those charges have only been moving in one direction for most – UP!
But it’s important to note that as a ‘reseller’ of electricity, under rules set by Ofgem (Office of Gas and Electricity Markets), the maximum holiday parks are allowed to charge customers for units of electricity is the price they pay for the electricity from their supplier. Parks can also pass on costs of standing charges their suppliers make, but generally, these are evenly distributed across each unit of electricity sold to its customers. Ultimately caravan parks cannot profit from the resale of electricity!
So, as frustrating as these rising electricity costs are to some static caravan and lodge owners, the rates set by the park’s commercial electricity supplier usually determine the charge per unit of electricity paid by its park customers. But we still want to know how much you pay per unit.
We’re also keen to hear about any increases and decreases in the cost per unit of electricity at your holiday park. Let us know in the comments below once you’ve voted in our electric poll.
Thanks for voting and we’ll report back the results in October 2024.
