E-On, fixed rate

Octopus Cosy heat pump and Intelligent Octopus GO tariff
I already own an EV and next week Octopus are installing a Cosy heat pump. My calculations indicate that I will be better off upgrading from GO to IOG than switching to the Cosy Octopus tariff. (your mileage may vary). Obviously I would like to take advantage of any cheap periods over and above the 6 hours from 23:30 to…
Outfox the Market: Energy
My contract with Octopus is finished, and I was looking at Outfox the Market for my dual-fuel electricity and gas. It's a company I've never been with. What's your experience with them, please?

Best way to dispute energy and utility bills?
I've been overcharged by my energy supplier and broadband provider a few times this year. The process of disputing them is painful, hours on hold, having to quote regulations, escalating to managers. Has anyone found a good way to automate this or make it less painful? I know there's Resolver and Citizen's Advice but I'm…

I've read the previous threads, Trust pilot etc. I'd like to hear from current or previous users. I'd also like to hear the same about Outfox the Market?

Would someone care to try and explain this (Energy Price Cap)
So today my mother received an email detailing her new prices for G&E for April '26, for the record, she is on Economy 7, uses over a 12 month period, twice as much electricity at night than she does day, and has only one gas appliance, a heater in her front room. So, the changes are as follows… Electricity Standing Charge…
Metre readings
Hi My Mother who lives on her has 3 storage heaters and has economy 7 heating she currently pays £370 a month to British Gas and they have just put the DD up to £760 a month as they have said she is under paying. I have since looked at her bills and her day readings are a lot higher than her night readings. She has a smart…
Octopus still no refund after 13 days!
I’ve been trying to get a £460 account credit refunded after the account holder passed away, and you wouldn’t believe how difficult Octopus makes it. I can send them money in milliseconds, but they take forever to process a refund. Seven calls (all recorded on my iPhone), more than ten emails, and three messages to “king…
Plug in Solar
I caught the last few seconds on radio four, about plug in solar coming to the UK. How does it work in other countries, where its already in use? I have seen examples of panels on a balcony and a flat roof, I have a outbuilding with a flat roof, so DIY would work for me. There are kits on ebay for £300+, would a system…
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…
Confused about tracker vs fixed options savings
Apologies if I'm being dense here - my fixed SO Energy deal is coming to an end on 1st April and my household has very high gas usage. a couple of weeks ago I was looking for fixed price deals but everything had been withdrawn. i signed up to the Eon Next Pledge tracker (5.24p gas unit price), switching on 1st April I've…
Can't Compare till Fixed Tariff rate from April are released
I'm looking to change fix tarriff on Eon next but it's impossible to work out as we don't know what the unit or standing charge on my fixed rate will be to calculate as the new tarriffs already include the April 1st reductions? Wish companies were forced to release what current tarrifs would be so we can compare.

Disappearing and/or Updating (more £££) Energy Fixes
This morning I decided to sign up for a 2 year fix with EDF (I am on one with them that is about to run out). I signed up for Simply Fixed 2Yr Mar28v5 . By mid-afternoon that had been replaced with V6 which is £50 a month more expensive, with EDF seriously hiking the gas unit price within the fix. I know fixing is not for…

Happy New Year! I thought we need a new Thread to discuss this - because not everyone uses Facebook. Has anyone else heard anything?
Outfox the Market withdraw all Fixed Rate Contracts from offer
As of today, 19th March 2026, OFTM have stopped offering Fixed Rate Contracts. When asked why they stated that it was "Due to the uncertainty of Wholesale Market prices". I expect all the other suppliers will start pulling their Fixed Rate offers leaving only Variable Rate contracts to choose from when your fix expires. A…
Energy Consumption Reduction excercise
Hi All, There is a lot in the news with regards energy prices so thought I would note down the findings of both my old and recent exercises performed to reduce electric consumption. Back in July 2022 the cost of electric doubled and we were averaging 14 kWh of Electric per day. The estimated bill was surprisingly high, so…

Hi all, My current tariff is coming to an end, which is the Loyal Octopus 12m Fixed April 2025 v1 and I am trying to find the best thing to do in terms of choosing my next move.
