Hi all,

We're with Bulb and have not yet been informed of how much the electricity unit and standing charge prices will rise from April 1, just had a note in our account in late February saying that prices will rise.  When do they need to let us know by - presumably there is some sort of deadline?

    The April tariff is on their website and probably your account already...

    The supplier needs to give you reasonable notice, but there's no hard-and-fast period defined.

    Thanks for the link - it's definitely not displayed in our account so this is helpful.  When I log in I get a page saying ""Our prices are increasing from 1 April - Find out more" which then directs me to a page with two links that gives some info on why prices are raising along with "We'll start charging you on these new rates from 1 April 2022", one of which is to the tariff page. That displays the current rates only, and the other link goes to an article from February with no specifics.  Again, only current info if I click directly into the Tariffs section

    This maybe one of those occasions where you need to log out of your account to see the new information...
    This is what I see there (Eastern region)...

    ... and for E7...
