Battery only? Anyone got such a system
I've been considering getting a home battery installed (without solar). We have an EV already and are on octopus energy (go) who offer this as an option. I check my recent bills and we are paying around £100 a month for electric, around £15 of which is standing charge. Octopus have a 10KWh for around £5500 which would…

E-comfort app
My mum had Elkatherm radiators installed by Heat Electric in 2024. After changing her internet provider we have had many issues with the e-comfort app. We finally got it connected but a week later the radiators are now showing as offline. Her neighbour is having the same issues after recently changing internet provider…

Collective Energy Tariffs
Hi everyone I am new to the forum. Just wondering if anyone has the British Gas Collective Tariff Feb27. Does anyone know if there will be another collective when it ends because the cost of gas and electric will be sky high by February 2027.

OVO Fix ends 26/09/2026 - Fix or go onto their standard Simple Energy Tariff
Hello, My OVO Fix ends next week but with the news today about the 24% increase in April, is it just best to refix on a 2 year with them or just go onto their standard price cap tariff? I'm a medium user for both gas & electric & pay monthly DD. I'm sure I read somewhere, it's hard to switch to another provider, as OVO…

Octopus Flux, delays with Export
Hi all. Im an existing Octopus customer, has SMETS2 meters installed in May 2026, solar and battery early June and eventually, paid under Octopus Outgoing from end of June. To maximise saving, I also signed up to Charge Pack. Recently decided with falling sunlight that I needed to change Octopus tariffs to one with import…

If only it were true . . .
I got an email from EDF telling me that my tariffs would increase on 1st October. No surprise there then. But when I click on the link to the NEW prices I get the above!

Agile Octopus still worh it?
Hi All, I have stuck with Agile over the past year and a half and all in all, I think I have saved money. However, I have noticed over the past week or so that the cheapest rates have not gone below pkwH with the upper trend pushing above 50p which is really expensive. This will only increase in October and again in…

Still looking to fix your energy tariff?
Still looking to fix your energy tariff? Well the reality is you've probably left it too late. But as that doesn't really help those currently on the search, and as MSE are not currently promoting any Cheap Energy Club exclusives (although ML is back on his ITV show Tuesday, so perhaps they'll launch something then?),…

BG Standard Variable or alternative?
Hi all, We're due to come to the end of our fixed British Gas tariff "Peaksave Super Sunday v6" (which no comparison site seems to have heard of) and weighing up options given the price cap increase in October. We've been told by BG that we can switch now without fees, and will be switched to their Standard Variable Tariff…

Should stay on the standard variable tariff or take a fixed deal British Gas has offered
I’d appreciate some opinions on whether I should stay on the standard variable tariff or take a fixed deal British Gas has offered. My situation: I live alone in an all‑electric house. I do have gas central heating, but only use it in winter from 6pm–9pm, and I use gas for 1 hour a day to heat water. I have an electric…

Is my roof too small for solar panels, what to do?
My household are high users of energy (6 adults in 3 bed + loft conversion house with an EV), around 9,000kwh per year of both electricity and gas. I am on Octopus Agile for electricity and gas is on the tracker tariff. My EV and charger (not smart) are both not compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go or any other similar…

Leaving Fuse
Recently left Fuse on 7th August. I've received a statement for August from them calculated using their smart meter reads from 7th NOT the readings I gave the new supplier on the morning of the 8th, and they have taken that amount by DD. Has anyone else left Fuse recently , and if so , did you get a small bill for the…

Can you defer the start date of a new fix with a different supplier?
I am currently with Outfox Energy and I’m just within the 49 days of being able to switch without paying exit fees, so I’ve started comparing. I’m looking at switching to Fuse. I would switch now if I could defer the start date till 02.11.26, but I don’t know how long they would “hold” a fix for you. I don’t want to risk…

Sainsbury Energy and Nectar Points - closed account
We were with Sainsburys Energy for our duel fuel energy for about 3 years at our old house which we moved out of in 2024. As we had a nectar account, we got extra points based on how much our energy bill was. Nothing life changing obviously. The new house was already with BG and when we checked they were the cheapest…

Green Homes Scheme - invitation letter
Just received a letter, addressed to the 'homeowner' from a private company called "Green Homes Scheme", the name of which sounds exactly like the Government's scheme. The letter offers up to a £4000 grant to upgrade our current PVs from 250w to 450 w, which will apparently "not affect your FIT payments", with the upgrade…

Please help me with EDF MyAccount
Hi, I'm not sure if this belongs in the Energy subforum or here. I'm hoping I missed something obvious because otherwise I guess it's a frustrating phone call ahead. I'm trying to register with EDF for a MyAccount. I have the account number, starting with "A", postcode and other details I believe are needed. What I can't…

Intelligent Octopus Go Bills
I've been on this tariff for a couple of years and always found it useful that the PDF bill showed my daily usage broken down into half hour periods. There was also the little graphic showing usage during the peak and off-peak price periods. Simple clear and easy to read. so Octopus decided that that wasnt good enough. Now…

Do any electricity providers offer a combined economy and standard tariff?
I know with economy 7 you pay a lower rate at night and above standard rate in day time. Why don't any charge standard rate during the day but still incentivise people to use electric during off peak hours though?

Energy fixes while relocating
I'm in the process of relocating to a different part of the UK. My old home is currently lying empty as I've only just finished packing up my stuff. Meanwhile, I'm renting a room while I look for something to buy in my new area. I used to be on a fixed rate with E.ON Next, but that expired a few months ago. I normally look…
