Timely Reminder - Meter Tariffs Still on GMT - Adjustments Needed ?
I know many will adjust clocks and everything else. So obvious to many, but remember many (all?) E7 E10 style tariff meters with fixed time of use tariffs stick with GMT - so off peak slots for many (all?) have moved an hour overnight. So you might need to adjust lifestyle e.g. off peak load shifting usage patterns a bit.…

Energy saving tips for an electric oven.
Other than batch cooking, or cooking more than one thing at a time, is there an efficient way to use an electric oven? I already turn it off a few minutes early. Is there anything can put in my oven to make it smaller? Like you put something in the toilet cistern so you use less water. Not that it's very big but being an…

Octopus Go and a manual meter reading
Octopus have gone back to raising bills in random dates for no apparent reason, last one on 20th. I've raised it with them but not really had a response. So it's likely I'll have to submit a manual meter reading on the first. I can look at the smart meter data and work out what it should have been at midnight, although…

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…
