Economy 7 - Price Cap Questions
Hi, I was wondering if anybody could offer an insight into what (if any) are the Day / Night price caps (if you are on a E7 tariff). I understand that the Price Cap (standard Tariff) will be circa 48p/kWh. I was put on EON NextFlex after my previous energy supplier fell by the wayside. I am currently paying 23.78p/kWh…

UW double electricity standing charge
Utility Warehouse have almost doubled the daily standing charge for electricity while increading the untit charge by 25%.

Most efficient way to use solar?
I'd really value some help. We've just moved and bought a property with a 'C' energy efficiency rating, with solar panels, solar hot water, and a ground source heat pump. Because of that, I thought the new house would be a lot cheaper on energy than our old house which was 'F' on the efficiency scale, 20% bigger, and had…

I'm moving into a 1 Bed rented flat on a set date next month. The current supplier is British Gas (not essential to change that in my opinion).

Shell energy - first bill and debt collector letter in the same week
Good evening all, I’m hoping for a bit of advice on what to do here in what I think is an unusual situation, but could be indicative of an issue that will effect multiple other customers. My wife and I moved house at the very end of September, moving quite far away from where we previously lived. Upon moving in I used the…

EDF are miscalculating my gas usage by 100 times. Does this affect anyone else?
I have had an account with EDF for several years. In all that time, it appears they have been charging me 100 less for my gas usage than they should have. This is because they appear to be calculating my usage by assuming my readings are in cubic feet instead of hundreds of cubic feet. As far as I can tell all the main…

Government's Share of Energy Costs

It was no great surprise to me that the Government is taking up 20percent for 15percent 'Government social & environmental schemes' and VAT at 5percent.. Now I can understand the "helping vulnerable customers" , but part of the 15percent is for…

E.ON Next
Does anyone know why when my fixed rate ended on 17 Jan 2022 instead of being put onto the cap rate of £1277 I was added to their Flexi Variant Rate. I never agreed to this and cannot get hold of them to ask why I am not on the cap rate until April. I have emailed and rang them, either their phones are down or their system…
