Hi

I was querying in another thread what people are doing after the OVO two year fix ends and also said in the renewal email they only quote for electricity in a new contract not gas, even though I am dual fuel.

I just got this:


"Thank you for getting in touch.

Sorry you are not able to view your Gas renewal rates. This is a known error that we are in the process of fixing, you should be able to see them by your renewal date. I have included the gas rates for your consideration.

2 Year Fixed
Gas unit rate 3.16p per kwh
Standing charge 28.77p per day



Better Energy
Gas unit rate 3.03p per kwh
Standing charge 28.77p per day

(Incl VAT)"

Hope that helps someone having the same issue

    ....and the Cheap Energy Club figures make no sense to me:

    CURRENTLY YOU'RE PAYING £1,235/yr
    Gas

    Tariff: 2 Year Fixed Energy (all online) 01 September 2017
    End date: 11 Oct 2019 (estimated)
    Early exit fee: £30 (unless you're 50 days from the end)
    Unit rates
    Electricity
    Edit details

    Tariff: 2 Year Fixed Energy (all online) 01 September 2017
    End date: 11 Oct 2019 (estimated)
    Early exit fee: £30 (unless you're 50 days from the end)


    Choosing OVO Fixed now it says

    Estimated cost
    £117/mth
    £1,402/yr

    Tariff type
    Fixed
    for 12 months

    Saving
    -£167/yr

    Early exit fee
    £60

    Cashback
    £0


    So how can going from £1235 pa to £1402 pa give me a saving of £167 pa???

    TIA

    the -ve sign means that it'snot a saving but it will cost you £167 more
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    Someone's bright idea to use a minus sign in this way when discussing savings!!? (and yes, I can see how it can be read but it is not immediately clear that I am saving £167 less than last year)
