Home Energy
My MSE Octopus fix is about to end and the Energy club found me some new fixes to look at. The cheapest is Home Energy, a small / relatively unknown supplier. There are no early exit fees and this switch is forecast to save us 10% on both sources, which is decent. Next ones on the list are the likes of So Energy, Outfox…

Big Switch
Are we due for another Big Switch soon? I'm coming to the end of my Utility Warehouse fix, and don't want to start a switch just to find that a better deal is available a few days later. I'm sure it's usually around Sept on previous years

E-on can't access smart meter after switch, now overcharging me
Having got an EV and home charger, I switched to E-On's "Next Drive Fixed V23" tariff, at 9p per KwH overnight. They say they can't connect to my smart meter (which worked fine with Octopus) and have stuck me on their basic tariff at 23.8p per KwH. The latest email said " "We'll be in touch to let you know what exactly…

Energy switch time again - is this an error from Outfox? and any hot tips?
Currently with Outfox Energy and in that period where we can switch… Considering a 'collective' switch via another platform, but also potential to stay with OE, but seeing the Gas standing charge on their best tariff is ~double the other provider(s)…and thinking that can't be right, surely? Is anyone aware of any better…

Tariff and/or Metering Options for Two Phase Supply
I might not have to deal with this myself, but I'm wondering what options are available nowadays for a two phase supply. The context is a former local authority building, which is to be taken over by an organisation I'm involved with. At that point we'll be responsible for the electricity supply. It's a two phase supply…

Eon Next Complaint - At Wits End
In a nutshell, there was a mess up with my energy export payments. Eon have admitted the fault is theirs but thought a £150 discount on the £1000 owed is appropriate. The Ombudsman agreed with Eon but later said I shouldn't have to pay the whole cost as the error lies with Eon Next but couldn't change the decision after it…

Final Readings used for switch
Hi, I recently switched from OVO to Outfox. I submitted electricity and gas readings on the day of the switch. Both companies used the submitted electricity reading, but for gas, they did not use the reading I provided.

Octopus Fixed Tariff Quote
I'm an existing Octopus Energy customer on a fixed tariff that ends on October 2nd. On Tuesday night, before the price cap changes were announced, I generated a new quote for an 18month fixed tariff.
