Economy 7 - Advice please

    Oh look! Another new user who has joined MSE to declare they plan to:

    a) Join Bulb energy company
    b) Do away with Economy 7, despite advice by experienced members who advise how to ensure that is the right thing to do.

    Instead, the new user appears to have already decided, based on assumptions only, and arguably resisting advice to maximise their usage of cheap rate electricity.

    Therefore, it would not surprise me that the new user who has joined MoneySavingExpert.com would also not interested to know that they will pay

    a) at least 6.6% more for their unit price
    b) 35% more for their daily standing charge

    - if they go with their supplier of choice, on the single rate tariff they appear to have already decided to take. Note that their supplier of choice also only offer variable tariffs, so the price could change at any time.

    Obviously, the alternative name of Spam Energy appears to have been well coined.

    Wow. I really don't know how to respond to this. I'm just someone who's looking for the best energy deal with a high percentage of renewable energy. I think I did post about my information gathering, reasoning, considering and contacting other companies (which I still am), and how I appreciated the advice given to me in the thread.

    If you've jumped to conclusions that I'm a spammer, you're wrong. I'd never even heard of Bulb before I put my expected energy consumption into MSE's Energy Club. Maybe you should take this up with MSE?

    Ouch.
