Does anyone know the status of the proposed zero standing charge tariff
for utilities as of December 2025? Ofgem did a consultation back in Nov 2023 and the press releases after
closure in 2024 suggested all utility suppliers were to offer at least one tariff

Fixed energy tariffs and the price cap
Hi, my current tariff expires a week after the planned announcement for the energy price cap changes. Normally I like to get ahead of these things and sort it a month in advance, however I'm wondering if the price cap is predicted to go down is it worth waiting until after the announcement to see if the fixed prices are…

Switching from Outfox the Market - check your final bill!
Hi everyone, Just switched away from Outfox the Market and received my final bill. Despite being within 49 days of the end of the fixed period, they charged early exit fees. The terms clearly state that if you switch within 49 days of the end of the fixed period, early exit fees will not apply - pretty standard across the…

Smart meter not sending readings to supplier. Supplier won't fix.
Hi All. My smart electricity meter has never sent readings to my supplier. It was installed before I moved into the property, and was seemingly installed without an install code at the time. I initially raised this as an issue with EDF in February, who have since sent 2 engineers round, and had me try and apply a remote…

We have three or four adults living here with much of the usual stuff - 2 TVs, laptops, a games console - and nothing out of the ordinary in terms of energy consumption. We charge 2…

Octopus Energy account mix up
Hi all, I recently noticed that my energy bills were not including my electricity. I contacted Octopus and they said the meter was only sending info intermittently. So I took a reading and sent it on. Same happened again the following month so I reached out to them via email. In the midst of the back and forth I got an…

Electricity Meter Blank
Hi there, I tried to submit a meter reading last week after completely forgetting at the end of December. When I went into the meter cupboard I saw that the electricity meter was blank. A quick google said to raise it with my supplier, which I did last week but I have heard nothing, is this normal? Utility Warehouse is my…

Additional electricity meter

I assumed the electricity had been merged together and He also adjusted the premises on the electoral register so the old basement beneath the premises became 38a. I kept receiving bills for the previous tenant next…

EDF has added a random account & property to my app profile
I discovered by chance last week when logging into the app that EDF has added another account to my profile on the app, connected to a property that I have nothing to do with at all. I can see the full address and the name of the person who lives there, plus copies of invoices. To stress, this property has absolutely…

British Gas billing chaos
Hi, My bills from British Gas recently have been all over the place with them transferring several hundred pounds between my two accounts (one address, two accounts, no idea why), usage has been transferred between accounts as well, and I've got bills for periods that have already been billed for. A customer adviser seemed…

Octopus and Kraken are swimming in murky waters
I thought some readers may be interested in this piece on Octopus Energy. It is a long read. TL:DR Overall, do I think Octopus will fail within the next 12 months? No, and on that narrow basis it can reasonably be considered a going concern. But do I think this is a robust business with a secure long-term financial…

Smart Meter (gas) not working
A few years ago my energy supplier was Shell. Whilst with them I had smart meters (both gas and electric) installed. Shell gave all their business to Octopus. I rarely look at the smart meter gadget that tells me the usage. However from the monthly bills I noticed that I was getting further and further into credit. This I…
