A penny or so was shaved off the standing charge - giving a total reduction for the year of £7 on my electricity bill.Those who see a price drop…

Octopus IOG EV Charger issues
Hello,Our energy supplier is Octopus and we struggle to install an EV Charger. Initially we wanted to book the install through Octopus but they didn't give us a date so we didn't go ahead with them.

After checking all the data, I found several days were missing. I contacted Octopus and a few days later all the missing days export data showed up,…

Electricity meter readings are 20x higher than average and I don't know why
I have always been pretty consistent about submitting meter readings monthly and six months ago I noticed my electricity meter reading (I have a gas meter as well but that has been fine) was about twice as high as I would have expected. I put this down to it having just been Christmas. But a month later it was 5x higher…

British Gas fail me again
I am in the midst of an Ombudsman complaint against BG that has been dragging on, for what seems like, forever. Putting the ongoing complaint to one side, today I find out that they have changed my variable tariff (yes it has decreased) but they have failed to notify me. Any other BG variable tariff customers not get any…

Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on quotes I'm starting to receive for solar panels and battery storage. For context, I'm replacing both my petrol cars with electric vehicles and the household electricity consumption is 3400kwh. This will obviously increase significantly when both cars appear.

Which EV Charger to get?
Wife has decided to get an electric car (Mini) so will need to get an EV charger to benefit from low night rates. Any recommendations? We are with Octopus as have Solar panels and battery. I see Octopus do EV charger but presumably they are expensive as their quote for solar panels wasn't competitive at all. Thanks
