Scottish Power urgent help needed

Here’s the situation: • My actual usage is ~13,600 kWh/year (split ~7,300…

FIT meter gives strange readings; installer gone bust!
In January 2024, I had a battery installed to work with the solar panels I already had (January 2012). This required a new meter and I have submitted manually the three meter readings required since, to E.On.

Octopus Energy lost our smart meter data for 17 months – now wants to bill on estimates
Hello, I’m hoping for some guidance (and possibly visibility) on a long-running issue with Octopus Energy. We have a solar PV and battery system that operates on Octopus half-hourly smart tariffs. Our system deliberately buys electricity during low-price periods and exports during high-price periods, so accurate…
