Moving into new build on 31st
Hi there, I'm moving into a new build on March 31st (Persimmon) and I'm just wondering what to do regarding energy. Should I just contact the supplier that Persimmon have used, give them a meter reading, and ask to remain on the standard variable tariff? There's probably no point in trying to look around for a different…

Putting money aside
As a general question to the thinking on this board. To those that are able to put money aside in readiness for energy bill increases (either due to cap changes or end of fixed deal)- are you upping your DD and putting money into your energy account or putting it to one side yourselves? I know it may be a personal choice…

Increase if on fixed tariff
Just checking I have correct thinking about this. I am on a fixed 1 year Tariff until October this year and I am assuming that my daily standing charge will not be affected nor the unit price charged because of the change in price cap this April. Basically I should notice no difference. I have already increased my direct…

Energy tariffs
My company Avro went bust in Sept 21 and I was switched to Octopus, except I was already trying to get a fixed tariff with Octopus at the time and that took effect before the automatic switch. Because I initiated the registration, I got the £50 Octopus credit, but of course my rates were above the cap. I wonder if this was…

We switched to EDF a while again and when we did we noticed that the in-home display for our smartmeter stopped working, over the last few months we've been back and too and never got the issue resolved.

Accidentally signed up to 2 business electricity contracts - Help!
Wondering if anyone can give any advice. I signed up to an electricity supply contract last August 2021 to start the supply this August 2022 through an Energy broker.

Am I being quoted above the market cap?
Hi I hope someone can help clarify things for me, as my energy supplier is avoiding my question. I understand the energy price cap varies by region, however I'm struggling to find what my actual cap is! I'm based just outside of Glasgow, Scotland. I found an average market cap on MSE website, and my supplier has quoted me…

Council Tax Rebate 2022 for energy costs or all living costs?
Hello all, I wanted to ask your opinion on the
council tax rebate 2022. The government is describing this as aimed at easing
the rising costs of living, but its website also states that the rebate is
aimed at addressing the rising "energy costs". Which one is it then? The reason I ask is that I have a lodger

Price Cap on business energy?

Changing prepayment company
Hello I have an electric prepayment meter with Eon. I recently topped it up a few hundred pounds on your advice in order to temporarily avoid the new rates on 1st April. Disappointingly it appears Eon have changed their stance and will not honour the old rate come 1st April. Can I change to a company that will keep the old…

Where can I find clear details of standard variable energy tariffs?
The dramatic increases in energy prices seem to have led all the utility companies, the switching sites, and even MSE into giving advice not to switch; and many comparison sites simply no longer offer comparative quotes. As general guidance, this may be pragmatic. But it has left me very frustrated. We had for some time…

In limbo with energy supplier
In August 2021 I switched energy supplier to Avro and 3 days later they stopped trading. I tried several times via Avro and my existing supplier websites to get the switched cancelled within the 14 day cooling off period but could not get a response. Then Octopus was awarded the Avro account so I tried to get them to…
