I am with Octopus. My bill for 1st April - 4th June was £412.45. I live in a One bedroomed flat and have had my heating off for about two months now. My last bill for March was only £240.61 Have prices really increased by so much?

I'm with Octopus too and also a 1 bedroom ground floor flat, I have my heating on when I'm cold.

My bill for 30th April to 6th June  was £46.16

1st to 29th April was £70.80

Dual fuel

If I had your bill I would move out

HI all,

I just logged into so energy and I'm being offered the below for Electricity:-

Existing tariff = So Flex

Unit rate (Electricity)                33.97p per kWh

Standing charge (Electricity)   43.64p per day

Fixed tariff offered So Juniper One year:-

Unit rate (Electricity)                 29.37p per kWh

Standing charge (Electricity)    43.63p per day

So for me it looks like the standing charge remains the same, it is only the unit price that is reducing a little.  Overall I stand to be approx. £40 better off over the 12 months.

Worth taking up the offer you think? It doesn't mention a date this deal ends so I presume end of June? 

I'm only being offered Elec as I have already fixed my Gas for 2 years a while back so its only the electric.

Thanks all

Kev

Just read Martins article on fixed tariffs, so it looks like my cost is only dropping 9% as opposed to 17% so worth take the deal? It appears offers only for existing customers by suppliers, not for new customers so therefore can't switch to better rate so might have to take the 9% saving.?

Assuming you are in Eastern region and use about 2900 per year saving is about £39.15 per year and that assumes E flex unit rate is the same as July cap for the rest of the year. + 3.65 SC saving if fix is 1p per day cheaper.

What gas rate did you fix?

Thanks for the reply.  My Gas I fixed at below rates and is fixed till Sept. next year.:-

At the moment unit rate is 10.19p/kWh at the moment due to cap etc).  I'll need to find my original tariff details when I signed up but I *think* it might go up to 11.12p per kWh from July.
Standing Charge: 26.11p/day ( from what i can tell this will stay the same from July).

So you think worth taking the deal for Elec?

Time was when these kind of queries could be answered by the several search engines. Have these now gone out of fashion? ?

Accepting that when it is a matter of comparing Octopus' "innovative" ToU tariffs, that was always going to be a tall order. Has anyone found a way other than suck it and see?

As the heading suggests, this thread is about tariffs that have only been offered to existing customers on an individual basis.  It's therefore unlikely that they will be easily found by search engines.

Just in case you missed post on previous page.

Tks, it's not difficult to loose the thread ..
What has been said implies that there are a significant number of "under the counter" individual deals or fixes struck between suppliers and consumers that are different from the standard tariffs that are shown by the search engines. The former would feature in a thread such as this. News to me. Is this widespread?

I think the word you're looking for might be more along the lines of 'exclusive'   Fixes exclusive to existing customers are common, and IIRC there have been reports of some customers being offered a fix with a supplier but not others, which would perhaps imply fixes exclusive to customers fitting a certain profile.

Those were, to my knowledge, never shown on comparison sites (is that what you mean by 'search engines'?).  Whereas tariffs open to the whole market were shown.
