Great stuff. ThanksDepends on whether both companies accept daily readings. It is also likely that the new supplier will regard the first reading as the opening reading and will communicate that to your old supplier. So therefore submitting more readings will be pointless.
Also if you provide the reading too early or too late based on the date your new supplier asks for the readings the reading will likely be estimated.
The new supplier doesn't give the date for the submission of the opening readings just because they have nothing better to do. There is a reason for it and that reason is so that you don't get charged twice for the same energy!On the Uswitch page it does say to give your new supplier on the changeover day which makes sense. I can't understand why GNE are asking for them 5 days early.0
