Yorkshire energy ?

macgyver

Just received a welcoming email fromSP and requesting meter and direct debit details.
Edit-
Bizarrely, the field for DD amount- it said tonic energy.  Although it gave me the YE account number when I entered my details.

Yes just got an email saying they are ceasing and will change to scottish power . Bad news as they were very good price wise. Will Scottish power be the same price per month ?

Same here - auto filled field said Tonik energy instead of Yorkshire Energy.  Hmmmmm - if they can't get this right......

Just been onto SP site and done a tariff lookup...had to do a quote and also get Elec and Gas separately but Energy Exclusive does appear as the last tariff in the quotes and for me (Hampshire) the tariffs are:

Electricity

Unit rate. 15.858p per kWH
SC   20.33p per day

Gas

Unit Rate  2.898p per kWH
SC. 23.33p per day

Havent crunched the figures yet but 20%+ higher on Leccy by the look of it,  Gas not soo bad

EDIT
Just done them...about £230 a year more (+20%)
Elec  £147   +24%
Gas. £84   +15%

Definitely switching as soon as account set up to avoid issues

To see the tariff rates I did the following:

Goto Energy, Our Tariffs from main menu.  

Energy Exclusive Online shows in middle on top row of tariffs 
Choose View Tariff Information Labels

Then it asks for postcode and drop down selections to choose Fuel, Meter Type, Payment Method and Online Tariff.  Then hit View Tariffs.  Exclusive Energy Online is bottom of available tariffs list.  Then use View to to the right of the tariff to see details (Have to do Elec and Gas quotes separately )

Hope that helps

Have a read of the Scottish Power/Yorkshire Energy page.  It has FAQs at the bottom. Yorkshire Energy | Gas and Electricity Company | ScottishPower

You will not be on the same tariff as you were with YE.  SP have set up an "Energy Exclusive" tariff for YE customers.  The details of the tariff have not been made public yet.  Ofgem have described it as "competitive" as have Scottish Power.  Although remember that YE were a bargain basement tariff company, SP are not, so the new tariff is almost certainly more expensive.

You will be free to switch away from SP.  Advice from Ofgem is not to start a switch now, but to wait until at least your SP account is up and running.

Same here.  I'm not too worried at this stage.  Everything else said YE, and my YE account number was auto-populated correctly.  Is it not beyond the realms of possibility that they've used the same web template as they did for the Tonik transfer, and the web coding for that field has been overlooked whilst they are trying to push this out with time pressures (after all, plenty have been moaning they've heard nothing yet!)

I'm sure they're keen to get our bank details as soon as possible! 
I haven't received anything yet but I guess the emails are being sent out gradually rather than all at once.

No emails for me as yet but if SP have already set up an 'Exclusive Energy' tarriff for YE customers, they clearly have set the pricing structure.  Brewerdave has said anyone initiating a switch now will fail so time will tell on this.  I along with my neighbour have already done our homework and have started our switch proceedings.  The welcome pack from both Companies has arrived so we will just have to wait and see.  I urge you to look at different suppliers as in most cases, it turns out to be cheaper than dual  fuel and like Mr Tesco keeps telling us, every little helps!!!
