Hi, 
Does anyone know when I'll be paying the new higher octopus rate for my electricity/gas?
 The reason I ask is I have a hot tub that's not due to be drained and refilled/heated for another month but if I'm still not transferred over to Octopus I may aswell do it now to avoid paying the higher Octopus electricity rate 

Thanks

    You will pay Octopus at the Ofgem-agreed tariff rates from the date that Octopus was appointed as the SoLR for Avro.

    From the SoLR regulations:

    2.21. Once appointed, a SoLR will be able to charge the failed supplier’s customers on the basis of its deemed contract rate. This will cover the period from appointment until customers have agreed a replacement contract rate with the SoLR or another supplier of their choice, or the six month period of SoLR appointment expires, whichever is earlier. We will consider the SoLR deemed contract prices in terms of what is best overall for the customer groups involved
  • My understanding is
    old Avro rate until 26th September 2021
    new Octopus rate from 26th September 2021

    The bad news is that you are already paying the new higher Octopus rates.
  • Yep we've been on Octopus' rates since September 26th.
