An update.....

Checked the EDF app this morning - it shows exactly the same SC and unit rates as before but now shows these as applying from 1st April. This is for E7 / East Midlands. Could be I caught it whilst they're making the changes or (more likely I think) they're just going to hold charges at the current level for the next 3 months.

Interestingly for gas only the app this morning showed identical to current rates from 1 April but now the web page is showing the new April rates in line with the slight variation, 0.009p reduction in unit price and 0.63p increase in SC. The app is now showing the same as the web portal.

For north of Scotland E7 EDF

Tarrif changed from

Day    43.69 to 42.26
Night  13.52 to 17.32

Will need to work out as im over year 67% night, will need to calculate usage spit from april to september last year. Its usually close to 50% in summer months.

But we still have some  cold snaps here into April historically, so may end up being a price increase for me of up to £180 based on these unit prices.

I wonder if this reflects the sheer number of users who have flooded to EDF for their super-cheap night rates over the past few months?  It will be interesting to see how other suppliers have interpreted things. As a sweetener for those with EDF and feeling a sting though, you're probably still paying a good deal less than many of those with other suppliers!

Guilty as charged.  I switched to them in January as that 7p off peak rate (Eastern) was just so good.  It meant I was paying less for electricity than I was in 2020.     The increase to 8.59p from April is not great but to be honest, I would still have switched to them if that was their rate back in January.

My calculations based on my annual use equate that to an extra £15 a year (or 4p a day). The majority of which is down to the standing charge.        I suspect we will worse off by a little more than that as we bought a PHEV and I have yet to factor the extra kWh that uses but it only charges off peak.  At an extra 10kWh average per day I estimate an extra £66 a year for the PHEV.

A big increase but no complaints at all from me. I've just made my first electricity payment for 6 months - a grand total of £21.13. Over the course of the last year I've received more in Government support for energy than I've spent and on top of that I have FIT payments for my solar panels. It was inevitable (and in my view absolutely right) that this level of support would come to an end. I'll only be paying a lot more over the next year as a result of not having paid anything (well actually having made a profit) over the last year (if that makes sense!)

In a very similar boat here too, between the government support, DFS events, and a bit of an extra bonus squeezed out of switching suppliers, my credit has been steadily building over winter from zero in Oct. 

Dropped my DD down to £1 purely to get the discounted rates and that’s all I’ve needed to pay into the account since - I estimate after the last DFS event runs the total credit should carry me to next September (potentially October if I can grab a decent off-peak tariff) before needing to resume normal payments.

Eastern  certainly stands out from the others - now only one sub 10p nights, other regions at least 5p more expensive on nights e7 dd.

Well that answers the question that we'd been debating here for a while about the PAYG E7 night rate for the Eastern region from 01/01/23 then...I think we can safely assume it was a typo that they felt they had to honour...

Did we ever get a post from someone actually paying that sub a penny prepay price ?

Certainly remember a few wishing they could.
