    I also check my gas meter readings regularly. Only problem is, for the last few months they haven't changed

    4.7 O's yesterday and 3 loads of washing done during peak time to use my leccy up :-)

    Great news....I got confirmation of my FITs application from EDF! They requested an opening meter reading.

    Anyone on EDF remember how long it took from this point to being signed up properly?

    Our timeline over 2 years ago was as follows (note the number of letters may have increased or decreased since then):
    21/10/11: Date of application
    28/10/11: Application received by EDF
    4/11/11 : "Thank you for choosing EDF as FiT licensee, we'll check application now..."
    16/11/11: "FiT Application has been approved"
    5/2/12: Received contract
    10/2/12: Sent off signed contract and reading submitted
    16/2/12: "Thank you for returning FiT contract"
    27/2/12: First payment received

    Nowadays the time from reading submission to payment into bank account is usually 5 working days or less.
