No standing charge?
Given that Ofgem have tried (and failed) to “simplify”
tariffs, do you see a case to bring back zero standing charge tariffs, where
the supplier recovers their costs purely from the energy sold? This could keep
the price down for low users and make high users contribute more, incentivising
the need to reduce usage.

1 bedroom new build - payment options
I'll be moving into a 1 bedroom new build on my own in about 2-3 weeks. I haven't looked into energy bills as I'm so confused. I'm not sure whether paying direct debit (risking a high payment due to lack of history for the homes / not knowing my usage) or whether paying monthly/as my bills arrive is the better option? I…

Lowest standing charges?
My home is well-insulated and I can bear a little cold. Is there any provider with low standing charges so that I can save money by using less energy? (I pay for gas and electricity by monthly direct debit.)

Fixing and Cooling Off periods
So I've read a few messages about people thinking about fixing now before the cap is announced, and then if it's not so bad they can back out of their fixed rate and revert to SVR or similar as they are within a "cooling off period" The cap date is 26/8 ( for October I believe ) - if I want to use a cooling off period is…

Prepaid electricity
Hi, Does purchasing pre-paid electricity protect you against price rises? I am considering purchasing 6 months of electricity using the meter key but I will only do that if my electricity rates do not increase in October. Prior to the last major price rise the meter tariffs remained the same until I purchased electricity…

Is this unhelpful practice by EDF allowed/legal
I was transferred to EDF from the unfortunately failed Zog for my gas supply. Having set up my account online with them I was initially a 'pay-as-you-go' billed monthly customer. I was then advised that I would get a cheaper tariff by switching to their direct debit system/rate, which is indeed a little cheaper than their…

Energy Price Cap - estimate of Gas v Electricity caps?
In April, the Gas/kWh went from 4.07p to 7.37p, Electricity from 20.8p to 28.34p (might be for one region, but most are similar). With the forecast increases in Oct and then January, ~82% ~116%, is there any indication or estimate you have (or best guess) of whether Gas or Electricity will be hit worst (in % terms) i.e. an…

Problem with Eon
For 6 months we have had a problem with our electricity meter as it is not recording our usage. Eon fitted another meter but that is not recording either. They now say that they will have to fit a smart meter instead. So how are we going to know how much electricity we have used in the last 6 months. I am worried that we…
