Smart meter still on old prices (before 1st April)
After 3 months of escalations, EDF finally finished the commissioning of my smart meter and In-Home Display yesterday.

Why would it take an electricity company more than 1 day to…

Solar FIT generation - transfer from SSE to OVO
Hi We've had solar panels for almost 11 years, installed by SSE. There was a rocky start, but for last 8 years or so, payments have been prompt, usually about 2-3 weeks after submission.

Sse Fit
I am also finding SSE impossible as regards overdue FIT payments. Nothing since the Autumn. Yet we have been supplying them since 2012. Payments got slower but always arrived. I have done the sending of the photo off too, even though access to our meter was always available as it is an outbuilding. They seemed to think we…

New Contracts and the October Price Increase/Cap
Hi, We're currently looking at switching to Intelligent Octopus. The primary reason being we've recently bought an EV (Tesla, so compatible with their service) and as a result the savings we'd make on charging the EV appear to outweigh the loss of paying more for our general use.
