New tariff
Hi, I've managed to get a new tariff sorted. Not the one I wanted but I think it's okay. Does this sound OK? Electric SC 19.116p Kwhp 20.325 Gas SC 13.298 Kwph 4.976 It's not as good as I'm on now, and I'll obviously lose the cheaper feb/March month but do these figures sound okay?

Why are electricity prices linked to gas prices?
I had an email from Octopus. It said electricity prices were going up because the cost of electricity in the UK is linked to the cost of gas. This seems idiotic to me as the UK doesn't produce gas. I wonder why it can't be unlinked - does anyone know?

Zog to EDF to EON Next
After being moved from Zog to EDF, I transferred my account to EON Next, which started 6 Jan 22. EDF acknowledge that I have left and today is 4 weeks and two days since I left. In normal circumstances, I believe they have 6 weeks to produce a final bill and then a further 10 working days to issue any refund - otherwise I…

I have leased solar panels (a shade greener). They regularly have a surplus going back to the grid in the hours of 10am to 3pm.

The price cap isn't much of a cap
It's gonna jump by over 50% in April and will alter every 6 months. There are talks it could be adjusted in as little as 3 month periods. This would be fine if the cap was limited to more general inflation, 7% or whatever. 50% increase tho! I wouldn't call that a price cap any more than I would call the Hubble Constant a…
