Ovo Energy
Hi this is my first try so please bear with me! I'm coming to the end of a 1year fix dual fuel deal with Ovo on Sept. 15th. When I asked for their percentage increases per KWH, gas was a whopping 70% and electric 7.02%! Today they've changed to 63% gas and 16% electricity. This would give me a 23.7% rise per year in cost.…

I wouldn't even be able to get my hand into the gutter as the…
