This EON *NEXT*

I did an Eon next quote a few days ago and the kWh rates were extortionate over 33p for electric and 10p for gas with daily charges of just over 26p, which is what I would expect for daily standing charges it was a 24 month fixed rate I didn't go any further with the quote but even their other tariff was not much lower at over 23p & 7p  with over 26p daily charges were a rip off. That was the only two options they gave me and the monthly DD would have being over £114 or £84.

Fortunately those are not the tariff that customers moved to them under the SoLR process will be put on...

Anyone been switched have their smart metering work straight away? Mine hasn't worked since the 14th when EON decided to retrieve their own final value and enter it as a 'manual' reading. Also broke my integration with Hildebrand Glow.

I also cant send them manual reads as they want a Day/Night value and I dont have the menu option on my smart meter (Elster AS300P - it's supposed to have a 'General' menu but I only have a 'Utility Menu' and can only retrieve a total cumulative value).

I know but that was the only two tariffs I had to choose from if I wanted to switch to Eon Next, I was only doing a comparison to see if the rates would be lower when my SLoR is sorted.
Utility companies are hiding their rates that relate to the price cap. Utility companies don't want new customers on price capped rates as they are losing money with every customer on those price capped rates.

Hardly surprising that companies do not want new customers on the current terms, hence the advice from many to just stay where you are.

Even if they do let you switch onto their SVR it isn't going to be very different to the SVR from the supplier you are currently with.

Logged on this morning and website has message that we're mid switch to "next".

Fingers crossed it's a seamless transition!! 🤞🏻😉

Told me it could be up to 6 weeks before smart readings start coming through. What a joke 😅

I have my own post about how our DD shot up and then a change over to this plat form which has frozen everything.

The whole reason the system thought we were behind is because Eon were slow to set up the DD if it now takes 6 weeks to take readings, I wonder if will get some more surprise bill shocks in the future.

Might be an idea for these energy companies to have to charge half price whilst sorting out new plat forms or systems, they would then be sorted in hours rather than weeks and months.

During that time, is there an option to submit manual readings to the new platform?   Just to keep on top of things.

Yes, except they expect a day and night reading for electricity, but I can only get a total reading from my smart meter as the 'general' menu I'm meant to have has disappeared leaving me only the network engineer menu. 

It's already on the DCC systems so there's no good reason a transfer couldn't be quick and seamless except the whole smart metering and  support by companies is abysmal.

Do they need both readings because you're on Economy 7?
