Brilliant!

Why can't the Government do something like this on Gov.co.uk?

The government page doesn't have the standing charge though, which is annoying.

By those figures, based on 1/12th EAC, my electric is going up £1.80 pm and gas 10p. My regional Mr Average is going from £2473.87 to £2498.07. Will have to wait and see what my suppliers actually come up with.

No new rate cards from EDF yet but they have now updated their website to remove the existing EPG rates and add an entry to the effect they are working on the new rates and will contact customers soon. Will keep checking the website and post any further update here. Probably not hugely significant for single rate users but there could be big changes for E7 users with particularly high or low day/night split. (They key word there is "could" - E7 rates may or may not change significantly depending on what they decide to do.)

Got an email today from Green Energy UK with my "new" rates from April - they aren't changing from existing.

Different suppliers did different things with discount and splits pricing on E7 - in Jan for sure - not so sure about Oct.

EOn didn't even appear to apply the same adjustments.

The Multi Rate vs Single Rate Ofgem price difference (yes they produce 2 different sets for electric - SC and unit) changed by over 2p in Jan in my region and others - and that impacted many.

In my region EOn passed around a 2.2-2.3p peak / off-peak tariff rise as a result to E7 and E10 customers. 

To make it worse for those on marginal splits - the SR actually dropped as well in my region - by 0.2p - so their break even point MR % night mix vs SR price jumped even further. In my case on E10 - a combined c12%.

So some went from E7 to SR.

Others found a better E7 tariff - like the really cheap sub 10p ones at EDF.

Others suffered - with a charity report in mid Feb saying an average increase across 2.5m E7 homes of 7%.  MSE's / ML's supposed campaigning on that one didn't seem to work.

No rates from EDF yet which surprises me given that the Ofgem rates have been known for a few weeks and the maintainance of the EPG at it's current level was expected in advance of the budget. I wonder where the delay comes from - is anyone aware of discussions between the gov't / Ofgem / suppliers about E7 rates or any other apect that might be holding things back? What about other suppliers - has anyone had confirmation of new E7 rates yet? Thanks, Mike.

Are those electricity standing charge figures for London correct?

I just did a check on EON using a London postcode and got a current rate of 33.16p.

This is the current rate which is 15% below the 1st April rate on  the table above

A 15% increase seems quite high but the 38.2p rate seems low compared with the rest of the country.
