Energy

Hi everyone, I wondered if I could have some advice and points of view. I have today discovered that we have been on an economy 7 meter and tariff since 2018 which we inherited when we moved in. I absolutely take responsibility that I should of known more about energy bills etc but didn't realise the actual meaning of this…

hi I don’t know if anyone can help here but I was wondering do British Gas haggle? My dad is 94 and I’ve been trying to help him get a reasonable fixed rate deal for gas and electric. Similarly I have a husband who has leukaemia and wondered again if there is any such help they could give on a fixed rate cost? (Neither Dad…

Hi, I've tried to switch energy providers before Oct 20026 price cap rises. Unfortunately my SMET2 meter was somehow incorrectly registered as single tariff only (Class 00). All attempts to switch before 17th Sept 2026 deadline (with Uswitch) resulted in cancellation as my "records didn't match the ECOES (National…

A few things I’ve learned about Fuse Energy since instigating a switch to them yesterday. You can defer the start date of the contract by 28 days during the opening process. I decided against it, as it wasn’t clear whether you would get the tariff at the time of signing up, or one that was in force at the deferred switch…

I'm posting this to see if anyone has experienced something similar regarding an estimated second import reading. I have been reading through some similar themed posts but not found one that would help me to fully understand and resolve this. I had a meter configured to a single-rate while I was with So Energy from 2025.…

We have a solar / battery set up. When I've been with previous suppliers on a "electric car" tariff, there hasn't been any checks to see whether I actually have one and it was a well known allowance that people with batteries could use those tariffs. I'm looking at EDFs Go Electric tariff at the moment. Slightly more…

I’m trying to understand my latest bill. For context, I signed up for a new fixed tariff in April and am billed monthly. My latest bill includes the note: “On this statement you will see reversed charges; this is where we have recalculated some of your previous charges.” All of the reversed charges relate to gas. Why are…

I've applied through the Gov.uk website and waiting to hear back. Information isn't always clear, and after registering my interest, the landing page suggests eligibility is subject to local funding, despite the funding coming from central government. All a bit confusing, I'm just waiting to hear back. Anyone has any…

Hi, my father-in-law passed away in the middle of February and I took over paying the electricity direct debit at £50 per month. On March 2nd the meter was changed. Looking back through his bills I would say he hasn't had a "proper" bill since October 2024. he/we have been paying the direct debit each month and his balance…

My fixed tariff ran out at the wrong time, so I'm currently on my supplier's SVT which looks reasonable until the end of the year. However, when poring over Ofgem's tariff tables, I noticed a strange development. I don't do gas, so I'm only interested in the rates for electricity. Just to make sure it wasn't just living in…

Let's keep this as more of a theoretical topic for plug ins without battery storage. Basic assumptions - 800W-1000W set, with 4 years payback. What's the best electricity tarrif and approach you can think of to make the payback quicker? E7 tarrif to get the night rate lower - make most of it on cloudy days, run any heavy…

Hi, electric only house, storage heaters, small solar and battery set up. Edf e7 contract coming to and end which was c.12.5ppkwh night rate, with fixes coming in at 17-20% higher after the VAT reduction depending on a 12 or 24m fix. Anyone in the same situation, and thinking of just not fixing and seeing what happens or…

Good Morning Everyone. Earlier this year I had solar panels, inverter and a battery storage system installed on my house through a government grant scheme. I was on a one year fixed tariff with EON that had no provision for selling excess energy "back to the grid". That has now ended, but i am finding it very confusing…

As they were being mentioned on another thread I thought I would take a look and sure enough very cheap SC for electricity and discounted unit rate by the looks of it. Personally happy with Octopus and our Tracker/Agile seasonal hop-skip-jump but it's always nice to see if the upstairs companies are getting any traction…

Hi, Last year there was a collective energy tariff negotiated for the cheap energy club members, anyone know if there might be another one soon? Thanks

I enter my 49 day exit charge free window next Saturday, my actual tariff ends on 13th Nov. I’m currently on a v good rate and even the best I can find on the comparison sites is going to drastically increase my rates - as with everyone. My question is do I fix again next weekend ahead of October, or do I wait till the…

So, it looks like EDF Sunday Saver is gone, never to return. The new replacement is "Flextras" but that seems to be available via the app only. We can't even see what the offer / incentive is without the app. I am really not motivated to have yet another app that I really don't need but, then again, Sunday Saver could be…

MSE have posted an article - or rather maybe an update - on suppliers future cap predictions - caution the crystal ball warnings are important given current volatility - if not already linked elsewhere by one of the team https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/energy-price-cap-prediction/ No BGas number yet - EDF just…

Hi Forum, Just a quick post I am with Octopous Energy on the Tracker tariff and things are increasing a little. What are the options at the moment that people are going too? thanks

I'm with Fuse on Aug Single Rate Fixed (13m) v7 On Uswitch, the cheapest switch is still with Fuse August 2026 Fixed (18m) V15 Can I switch with Uswitch through TCB for £46 cashback? It does say on there, Want to stay with your existing supplier, and there's a switch button. Probably won't switch until closer to October…
