Octopus Intelligent Go 6 hour changes being rolled out.
Upcoming changes notice, from octopus Electric vehicles are booming. In March 2026, over 22% of new cars sold in the UK were electric, and the old fear of "range anxiety" is practically dead. With modern ranges hitting 300 miles and a rapidly growing network of ultra-rapid chargers, most drivers just plug in every few days…

Octopus Home Mini problems..?
Annoyingly, for the second week on the trot the Mini has lost its connection. Both have happened late on a Sunday night. On both occasions a simple "switch it off, and on again" has solved the issue, but I do wonder what is causing it and if I'll need to ask them to replace it. Anyone else finding issues?

Octopus Energy Completely Misleading Email
I have initiated a switch to British Gas Collective deal (Essex County Council). Octopus energy sent me a switching email quoting my annual estimated cost to compare with my new deal. Octopus have quoted on my current fixed tariff for 12 months but my fix ends next week and then Octopus increase the price!! Now I'm glad I…

Overpayment on Estimated Heat Bill for 8 Years - England
Based in England. Heating with Eon in a flat. I gave a meter reading of 5000 kWh in Feb 2018 and just gave another reading (July 2026) of 9500 kWh. My estimated bill is 22,000 kWh so I have been massively overpaying for the 8 years inbetween. I'm the idiot for not providing meter readings in those years but it just wasn't…

Thermaflow Boiler - Wet Electric Heating Tariff
Hi, all the other posts about Thermaflow boilers are old so seeing if I can get any up to date info. Moved into a property with an old broken RTS meter - it's not sending any data, but was a 'complex' multi-rate one with 3 rates. Smart meter replacement booked for March. Account with Scottish Power - currently on standard…

Smart gas meter will never work. Has technology changed?
Got a decent deal with UW a few years ago, as long as i had smart meters fitted. I did some research and as my gas meter is in the basement and appx 20+ meters from the electric meter it wouldn't send the data. So they fitted the meter anyway, and sure enough it doesn't work. I'm looking for a new supplier, and a lot of…

Fuse Energy, anybody with them?
As they were being mentioned on another thread I thought I would take a look and sure enough very cheap SC for electricity and discounted unit rate by the looks of it. Personally happy with Octopus and our Tracker/Agile seasonal hop-skip-jump but it's always nice to see if the upstairs companies are getting any traction…

EDF Refer a Friend
https://www.edfenergy.com/refer-a-friend To make clear, not looking to either refer or be refereed. Looking to move to their standard tariff without any exit fees. I've had a look at the T&Cs and can't see you have to be on a certain tariff. My thought is a could move again soon after being paid penalty free. Anyone see…

Eon next power up
Eon next have invited me to sign up for their PowerUp event tomorrow from 10:00am to 12:00pm. “Your target is to use 1% more electricity than you usually would during this time” “If you hit your target, we’ll give you £0.20 credit for every extra kWh of electricity you use.” Anybody else participating?

Home Energy
My MSE Octopus fix is about to end and the Energy club found me some new fixes to look at. The cheapest is Home Energy, a small / relatively unknown supplier. There are no early exit fees and this switch is forecast to save us 10% on both sources, which is decent. Next ones on the list are the likes of So Energy, Outfox…

Daft question - Ovo DD
Ordinarily this wouldn't bother me, but for various reasons I'm going to be extremely squeezed over the next six weeks or so, literally monitoring the pennies. By coincidence, I'm switching energy contracts away from Ovo. It should be completed by the start of next month, I'm still in the cooling off phase. I have a…
