Eon Electricity online extra saver V13 - Standing Charge?

Options
Hi

I wonder if anyone can confirm whether this tariff has a standing charge or not - it does not mention it one way or another on their website.

    They have a v13 tarrif with and without a standing charge. Its listed on the energyhelpline site.
  • They both have a standard charge. Only the 'non-standing charge' version disguises it as a different rate for the first 900 units.

    Everybody uses at least 900 units so multiply this higher rate by 900 to find the hidden standing charge.

    This is a quirk of people not understanding numbers particularly well.

    Is v13 supposed to incorporate the recently announced 9% reduction in electricity?

    Then what's the point of having a no standing charge option.

    "Everybody"? I do NOT use 900kwh per year so will benefit by being on No Standing Charge but not with this deal as it's 32p/kwh and Ebico is 16p/kwh.

    I'll stay with Ebico.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    The Eon rep I spoke to yesterday said, 'no'.

    Are you sure because mine is only 2% less?

    Also V13 is effective from 12th March - and they announced their price reductions kick in from 31st March????

    AFAIK the prices showing on energyhelpline are the ones applicable from when the various company's price cuts are implemented (mostly 31/3)? I can't see E.on bringing out a new tariff and reducing the price within a couple of weeks but you never know when it comes to the energy industry....


    Edit: Had another look at this tariff and the annual discount is impressive enough but my question is; is this paid after you've been with the tariff 12 months or is it paid monthly?

    E.ON's discounts are a %age of the charges rather than a fixed amount and applied to every bill/statement
  • I am on Energy Saver v12 and, according to energyhelpline.com, v13 is more expensive...
