Moving from the Standard Variable Tariff to a Fixed Tariff and Smart Meters
Hello, I'm on the Standard Variable tariff with my Energy provider, which is one of the Big Six providers, and am seriously considering going on a fixed tariff to avoid the price increases. However, I am dubious about going onto a smart meter which is why I have stayed on the standard variable tariff. Generally speaking…

Cheap Energy Club got it wrong again !
Bizarrely, they had my electricity use at 5148 kWh when Scottish Power said it was 1376 ! That's four times too high and, incredibly, even greater than my gas usage - which was correct. That is second time they have got my current figures wrong - see my earlier thread. Why isn't anybody checking for obvious, glaring…

Octopus refund and billing errors
Ever since the additional payments were made by the government to help with energy bills, we've had them paid to Octopus. Our balance rose steadily, we made choices to switch to lower fixed tarrifs when available. Our meter readings may not be as regular as they'd like but fit in with the intermediate estimates. For the…

New smart meter not working - insufficient WAN
We have a new house in the Scottish Highlands and had a meter put in by British Gas in the build phase; we switched suppliers to Octopus once we moved in. Octopus tell us that smart meter is not able to communicate with them due to lack of WAN in the area. It's frustrating as we put in solar panels and want to export…

Is this how they calculate Direct Debit payments?
HiI assume that when energy companies calculate your Direct Debit monthly payment they base this on your estimated usage, with a view that you should have zero credit on the 1st April the following year? So that you can then build up credit during the summer before the more expensive winter months. Is this correct please?…

Intelligent Octopus Go - EV Charging Schedules good, but being charged at peak rate
Hi. I'm on 3-phase supply so it's taken me a while to get a smart meter installed at home, in fact I gave up on British Gas (who kept sending single phase engineers) and moved to Octopus who sorted it quickly. It's a Kaifa meter which I've read means the Octopus Home Mini won't work, so no live readings but I can see usage…

My house is set to 16 degrees, I’m in a small 2 bed house with my daughter and we are out most of the time.
