  • My bugbear with EDF on the "standard" DD payment is this nonsense of only getting a bill every 6 months, but I get a sneaking feeling someone indicated elsewhere that the whole amount monthly/exact amount DD option removes this issue. If we do end up switching the electricity to them I'll most likely go for that option, but I really can't see them being very happy if I wanted to switch the gas to that way of working allowing for the low use!

    Not sure why they wouldn’t be happy as long as they’re getting their money, don’t suppose they’ll care

    As stated above, what matters is your annual consumption in kWh/year.

    What most people have yet to appreciate is that £100s worth of energy bought in October last year by the Ofgem typical consumer will cost £195 from next week onwards. (The power of compound interest: 54% increase in April and 27% next week).

    I only signed up to EDF from the previous tenant from 23 July.

    23 July 2022 - 5 August 2022 (I was away most of this time - so the numbers are low)
    Gas: 11 kWh
    Electricity: 58 kWh

    From 6 August till 27 September:
    Gas: 67 kWh
    Electricity: 92 kWh
