British Gas - Bills for the occupier (before we moved in)
Hi, I purchased a property in May and moved my supply with octopus across to the new house. I've been getting repeated letters from BG asking for 200quid for the period ending 9th may (my move in date). Octopus confirmed that the suppliers have agreed readings so there's no discrepancy and nothing for me to pay. Oh, except…

Smart meters rocketing prices
My economy7 electricity meter has been replaced with a smart meter because the RTS signal that controlled the original meter was being switched off. I was assured I would see no change to how the supply operated, just have the advantage of no longer needing to manually take readings. This has been far removed from the…

Electricity meter works fine but the gas meter has never communicated in smart mode from the day it was installed. The day after installation we had a visit from the…

How can continually overpaying be cheaper? A shocking £3000 in credit.
:open_mouth: So I've recently been helping my dad out with his financial affairs, bills etc. and just found out he has been paying a ridiculously high direct debit amount to his energy company (OVO - gas & electric) for a number of years now. Currently the account states that he is over £3000 in credit, yet the energy…

Using Aclara SGM1416-B Smart Meter

Gas usage quadrupled?
Just noticed today, when taking a reading that my gas usage has quadrupled in the last two weeks from 1.5m3 a day to over 6m3, which doesn’t make sense given that we only use gas for hot water at the moment, and that hasn’t changed in the last two weeks. Does this indicate a likely problem with my boiler or could there be…

Octopus Intelligent Go - Connecting Direct to EV
Does anyone have experience of using Octopus Intelligent Go (or similar energy tariff) with a direct connection to an EV using an older EV charger? At the time of ordering my Skoda Enyaq the Octopus website said that either the Enyaq or my existing PodPoint Solo 3 charger (likely the latter) was not compatible with their…

EON Next, de-energised meter, missed payment markers!!
Hi all, Please bear with, this a long and bumpy road. In September 2023 I paid EON Next to de-energise a meter in my barn. We never used it, the barn is for storage, the previous owners had it installed as a builders supply meter. I paid for the de-energisation over the phone, with my card, and was told there was a nil…

Problem with solar panels
Hi everyone, I’ve recently noticed that birds have started nesting under my solar panels. I’ve heard this can affect the performance and energy output of the system, but I’m not sure to what extent. I came across a product which helps against birds nesting under solar panels, which seems like a good solution, but I’m still…

Batteries for solar, FIT - is it worth it?
My husband and I are both pensioners with a small amount of savings. We invested in solar panels for our energy about 14 years ago. The cost then was very much higher around £12k for a 4kw system but the FIT payments rate much more generous than for new installations now. To be honest I don't know how we would have managed…

Payments were taken in January and February, but when I got my March bank statement no payment had been taken. I immediately contacted Octopus, who said my metre had been de-energised (whatever that…
