    You will take your £200 loan, repay it, and like it.

    OK, instead of the loan we'll reduce your October energy bill by £200, and we'll introduce a mandatory payment of £40/year for 5 years. How about that?

    I don't want a loan with fixed repayments over a number of years. How do I decline this rebate?
    You can't (I'd prefer not to have it either, but them's the breaks)

    Cut yourself off from the energy supply before October and do not reconnect for five years.

    Surely wait until after £200 rebate and then disconnect. They will not be able to recover it.

    I can’t see the point of this ‘loan’. If I am reading correctly,there will be a further increase in October. What happens then? In the grand scheme,it’s a token .

    Cancel your electricity supply & get meter removed before October and don't restart it again for 5 years. Maybe not so practical for most people.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
