Caddyman,

The EDF rates for East Midlands are as follows;

Gas
Daily Standing Charge - 18.90ppd
Unit Rate - 12.39p

Electricity
Daily Standing Charge - 26.25ppd
Unit Rate - 3.63

What is nPower going to charge you? How much energy do you use a year?

I think also you are the perfect example of why the switching process MUST be simplified. People wont change because they feel its just not worth the effort EVEN THOUGH you dont actually have to do anything to start with.

BUT the issue here is that by the time Ive finally been switched over to EDF it would have been over a month since I made the request to move! Changing energy suppliers shouldnt take this long!

Regards

Mailman

im guessing you have the electric and gas rates the wrong way round. if not im switching my electric to that tariff

yet another pointless exercise. what good is speeding up switchovers going to achieve?

whats really needed is

1) a proper investigation into the way energy companies charge themselves for the wholesale energy they produce.

Fair enough.

2) a simple and clear way to measure the amout of energy we use. (it was supposed to have been made simple but its still confusing for some.)

We already have this. Not one person who is confused by the present system will not be confused by any other.

3) banning the practices of estimated billing and building up of credit on peoples account.

Again, not a problem for anyone. More people are more significantly affected by negative balances building up.

We'll be paying for smart meters soon enough.
