    For anyone who's managed to contact the administrators, where did you find the contact details?? I've looked back through stuff but either have missed it or I've not had it...

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    ...before asking the last question - does this depend on having a smart meter?  I think the rates will be not-so-exclusive anyway, but the compulsion of a smart meter will be the double-whammy not-on-your-nelly thing...
    What's wrong with a smart meter?

    hmmm.... the polite answer to that is that I don't need one to manage my energy bills thank you very much, and it won't save me any money...

    It could save you money as occasionally the cheapest tariff is a smart meter exclusive.
    They don't manage your energy bills.

    What is it with these energy companies? Outfox want my meter readings. Gas, fair enough no problem, Electricity there are two boxes both titled New Read, with no indication about which of the two Economy 7 readings goes in which. This was exactly the same issue I had with SP who managed to transpose them. Eventually they were corrected at the second attempt. Now I'm concerned I'll get charged some whacky last bill if Outfox send transposed figures to SP.  You'd think that Economy 7 was some strange concept, not something that's been around for decades.
    I've sent a query to Outfox with pictures and an explanation of the readings.

    I haven't seen this linked on this thread, but apologies in advance if I am duplicating it, I saw it posted on the GNE thread.

    The decision letter from Ofgem regarding their appointment of SP as the SoLR for YE

     Appointment of ScottishPower as Supplier of Last Resort (ofgem.gov.uk) 

    A moderately interesting read, with some detail on the process and decision making factors.  A bit light on the juicy details some here will be looking for, although as Ofgem say they don't publish commercial details that may prejudice the outcome of future SoLR tenders (guessing they were probably aware of issues with GNE and Simplicity by this point, or at least anticipating further SoLR's over this winter)

    I am not going to publish their details but it is easy to find if you look on YE website and investigate from there.

    The administrators' proposals will also make interesting reading when available. They were due this week, and I presume they were released on time. Companies House always takes a few days to catch up.
