Has anyone used the Warm Homes: Local Grant for Solar Panels?
I've applied through the Gov.uk website and waiting to hear back. Information isn't always clear, and after registering my interest, the landing page suggests eligibility is subject to local funding, despite the funding coming from central government. All a bit confusing, I'm just waiting to hear back. Anyone has any…

Outfox Price Cap Tracker
As we know the Ofgem Price Cap is increasing on 1st October by around 4% for dual fuel customers. About one month ago I moved to Outfox’s Price Cap Tracker where the tariff tracks movements in the Ofgem Price Cap. Last week I was notified by Outfox my new unit prices for gas and electric. When I’ve calculated the increases…

2026Q4 price cap: electricity single rate v. multi-rate
My fixed tariff ran out at the wrong time, so I'm currently on my supplier's SVT which looks reasonable until the end of the year. However, when poring over Ofgem's tariff tables, I noticed a strange development. I don't do gas, so I'm only interested in the rates for electricity. Just to make sure it wasn't just living in…

Home Energy
My MSE Octopus fix is about to end and the Energy club found me some new fixes to look at. The cheapest is Home Energy, a small / relatively unknown supplier. There are no early exit fees and this switch is forecast to save us 10% on both sources, which is decent. Next ones on the list are the likes of So Energy, Outfox…

Plug in solar - best tarrif
Let's keep this as more of a theoretical topic for plug ins without battery storage. Basic assumptions - 800W-1000W set, with 4 years payback. What's the best electricity tarrif and approach you can think of to make the payback quicker? E7 tarrif to get the night rate lower - make most of it on cloudy days, run any heavy…

I am confused about Solar tariffs. Could someone please share their experience
Good Morning Everyone. Earlier this year I had solar panels, inverter and a battery storage system installed on my house through a government grant scheme. I was on a one year fixed tariff with EON that had no provision for selling excess energy "back to the grid". That has now ended, but i am finding it very confusing…

My ponderings on fixing before my fix ends
Hi, Just thought I'd share some ponderings about when to renew my fix given the upward trends in prices, and the unknowable potential for them to keep going up (or down). My current elec-only fix stops at end-Sept, and I've been monitoring the fixes that would have been available to me over the last few weeks if I had…

Fuse Energy, anybody with them?
As they were being mentioned on another thread I thought I would take a look and sure enough very cheap SC for electricity and discounted unit rate by the looks of it. Personally happy with Octopus and our Tracker/Agile seasonal hop-skip-jump but it's always nice to see if the upstairs companies are getting any traction…

Understanding my September 2026 bill and the April Gov Price Cap
I’m trying to understand my latest bill. For context, I signed up for a new fixed tariff in April and am billed monthly. My latest bill includes the note: “On this statement you will see reversed charges; this is where we have recalculated some of your previous charges.” All of the reversed charges relate to gas. Why are…
