Worth getting a generator? And what kind?
With rising fuel prices the gas & electric bills are starting to really worry me. I don’t have the roof space or really the belief that solar works well enough to make it worth the investment (happy to be proven wrong though). And also with war in Ukraine and energy supply seemingly at risk in future, I was wondering if a…

Direct Debits are over collecting
I’ve just received notification of my new tariff from Octopus and of a resulting change to my direct debit. The minimum payment however has gone up more than the tariff change and seems to be set by Octopus energy at a value such that I will still be in credit in March 2023 and this cannot be reduced. I therefore seem to…

Ovo - sending message from account
Ovo acquired SSE and so I'm a fairly new Ovo customer. I want to submit a 31 March reading and there are no instructions that I can see on the website. All I could do would be to submit today's reading. There is a messaging feature but this seems to be disabled. Any advice on how to report the 31 March reading? Thanks.

Confused, please help. Standing charge
If I have a meter that monitors kWh I use in daytime and nighttime separately, and both my daytime and nighttime prices have increased by 54%, why has my standing charge doubled? I thought that the point of the 54% cap was to limit bill increases to a maximum of 54%. Am I wrong about that?
