    Nordstream1 is still offline and it look like it won’t be back anytime soon. 
    I just saw this in the news. That's incredibly bad for supply and incredibly bad for prices. I have a horrible feeling prices will rise even higher than they're currently predicted. I fixed a few weeks ago and I think anyone who can fix should do so. The current prices of 30p for gas and 70p for electricity might look very cheap a few months from now.

    I’m inclined to agree, though I’m not sure it’s yet affected wholesale prices, which have been falling. I did fix yesterday with British Gas, and I’ll certainly stick with that, unless that failed Thatcher tribute act Truss announces a reduction in the price cap to keep the CPI down a bit. 14 day cooling off periods are useful!

    Hi, I'm on Bulb's 2-rate (day/night) electric tariff and am considering switching to a single-rate smart meter. (Their website says this is doable.) I don't have electric storage heaters so there's no need for me to be on the day/night tariff.

    I know my current day/night unit rates but can't find any info on Bulb's single rate unit rates.

    Can anyone (ideally East of England) on a Bulb single rate electric tariff let me know what the unit rate (p / kWh) and standing charge (p/day) is please?

    Why don't you just check it here?

    I tried that but get this error in two different browsers: “There was an error getting your tariff.”
  • From the link above, with an Eastern postcode

    Electricity Unit rate     29.2394p per kWh
    Standing charge      37.9176p per day

    Is this any help? I used a near-Norwich postcode. Now edited to show single-rate tariff not E7, sorry.

    Why is Octopus Go not mentioned? Am I missing something. Just moved to it, from Shell, 38p per Kwh elec Peak, and 7.5 per Kwh Elec Off Peak (4 or 5 hours a day) 
    You have to own an electric vehicle.
    They aren't taking new customers at the moment.
    They are taking new customers as i switched on Tuesday. They do ask if you have an EV, but to be honest not sure how they check
    Fitting a home charger is notifiable electrical work. Quick search with local authorities would reveal if you have one.
    Many people with EV's just plug it into a 13amp socket. There's no way they can check.

    Can they not just ask people for proof of owning/leasing an EV if they want to ensure only EV owners can have EV tariffs?

    They could just ask for a copy of the V5.
