Can we buy direct from National Grid?
I know that users of heating oil can club together to buy a full tanker load and save money that way, but want I want to know is, can a community (such as a large village) form their own Power Company & use it to buy electricity (and gas) at wholesale prices? If so, how would we go about it?.

Supply Co's Holding Your Money
I must say that having our gas & electric with Hydro Electric (S&SE) is ok when it comes to sorting out balances. In the past I have just switched (by freephone) credit balances in one to debit balances in the other. Sometimes I have had a big credit balance and have asked for a refund. It has been deposited in my bank…

New 25p admin charge for top up meters at Pay Points
My girlfriend went to top up our pre-payment electric meter at the local newsagents today only to be told that they have now introduced a new 25p admin charge per transaction on both gas and electric. Has anybody else heard about this? Seems a bit greedy to me as surely the Pay Point shop already receives a fee from the…

npower duel fuel discount question
I'm wanting to swap my gas to a company that doesn't sculpt and charges the same number of primary units each month. I was going to wait until May as that's when I get my payment for having duel fuel and seems silly to switch a month before it's due. I got stopped in the street today by some scottish power reps and there…

Can they REALLY do this???
I arrived home from work today to find a letter from Buchanan, Clark & Wells debt collection agency, in relation to our electricity supply with E-ON at our previous property. The letter states that we owe an overdue debt of £103.90 for electricity, and threatens legal action. I found this confusing for several reasons.…

Npowers "Fixed for Free" extension until June 2009
I am a dual fuel customer of Npower and I would like to warn of a dubious deal being offered to customers on their fixed for free tariff whereby the prices per unit of each fuel type has been fixed until March of this year. A letter has been sent to each customer suggesting (with the heading: Relax, you don't have to do…

E7 and non-storage heating
Hiya I've just moved into a flat that has non-storage electric heating. I think that it's on an economy 7 tariff. I guess i'll need to wait till I get my first bill to find out - there are two readings on the meter tho, which makes me think its E7. The power company (nPower) said that the previous tenants bill averaged at…

TV License question
If we set up a new TV license in our new property & leave the old one to run in our previous home, will the current tenants get a reminder to renew? Or if we cancel it will they get a 'to the occupier' notice to buy one? We've recently moved and didn't realise we could take our license with us. We know the tenants who have…

Can e-on get away with this?
Hi, I've got a problem with e-on and I'm sure they shouldn't be allowed to do this, so i'm wondering if anyone here has any advice? I've been supplied electricity by eon on Economy 7 rates since early last year. I moved home in mid-march this year and gave them my final readings. Prior to this my last actual reading was…

My Atlantic price drops are much less than published averages
Just a warning to check what percentage price drop you actually received from Atlantic in the round of cuts yesterday, so that you are not misled. The published "average 4%" drop for gas and "average 9%" drop for electricity may not apply to you. It depends on your area and tariff. In fact, my bill for gas will drop only…

Switching energy supplier - what to do?
hi, I'm going to say goodbye to British Gas and join a cheaper company (probably npower). I can fill out the form online at the new suppliers website but do I need to inform/give notice to BG beforehand? How does it work? if yes - do I need to give notice i.e. today, wait 30 days or so and join npower after that time? I…

E.On prices - just checking my calculations, need help!
Hi, Just wanted to check I'm not missing something obvious! I'm on a fixed tariff is that is lower that all E.On's non-fixed tariffs - so that's all good. However, can someone tell me if I should stay on the fixed tariff I currently have (Price Protection 17)? I'm hoping I'm not going made, and that I seem to have a good…
