Unable to submit meter reading to British Gas
I've repeatedly tried to submit today's reading. At first I could not log in - "something went wrong" message keeps flashing up, not even for long enough to take a screenshot. Then log in but get the "something went wrong" message again. The home page says to send a meter reading by 15 April. However, I can't remember…

Plug in solar
https://www.euronews.com/green/2024/07/23/solar-balconies-are-booming-in-germany-heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-popular-home- There was an item on radio four about a booming trend of pug in solar, in Germany.

Why are Octopus increasing their standing charge by almost 10%?
Just received a big email from Octopus about how electricity Energy prices will be dropping in April following Octopus championing against some govt levies etc and how much I'm going to be saving on my electricity bill, overall £98.89 a year on an electricity bill of £1777 - so -5.5%…but at the same time they are…

Octopus IGO 1st April Rates
Rates for off peak have come down to £5.49 for IGO from the 1st April. Does anyone know if this £5.49 rate would also apply to charging car during the day or would that still be charged at the 9p rate?

Octopus 4G Smart Meters
Had anyone had their smart meter hub upgraded recently to a 4G version? Got mine done today but noticed after the installer had left that both the HAN and Gas LEDs weren't flashing to indicate they are working and my IHD also wasn't connecting. Do I have to wait until Octopus does something their end or should the HAN be…

E.On Next trying to pull a fast one?
Be warned… About two weeks ago, I took a gamble and decided to take out a one year fix with E.On Next (my existing company). As we mainly use during the day I was sure to chose a tariff that had the same day/night rate and this was confirmed in the email confirming the tariff change. get my first statement post change and…

British Gas underhanded practices?
As today is 1st April and as per Martin's advice , price cap reduces today, and I have by choice not upgraded to a smart meter yet, I duly went about taking my readings today to ensure i am charged the correct rates for the units I have used upto now, and from when the price reduces today. I was shocked to see that a meter…

Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…

New electricity tariffs

Sneaky British Gas
I'm on a fixed tariff with British Gas via MSE Energy Club. From today the unit rates for gas and electric have been reduced as promised. However after checking the new prices on the BG app I find that sneaky British Gas have increased the standing charge for gas and electric. I thought standing charges were staying as…

Back billing - but in credit so Energy Ombudsman found in favour of supplier
Can anyone help with this please? We had a bill shock in September 2025 when our energy supplier sent us our statement and had taken an extra £400 for energy used in March 2023 that they had not charged us for through their own error. (We had provided meter readings). Over the years we had maintained the suggested direct…

Petition
If not allowed, please delete - I don’t think this is political, even though it is something that I think at least needs a debate in Parliament. As this has been highlighted on the TV and by Martin Lewis himself, I think it should be given some legs. If Martin wants to raise awareness of this it would be great, but I am…
