  • BG had my fixed DD set at £270 but did mange to get that reduced to £240, I'll wait to see what happens from 1st July but will definitely be moving to Octopus once I can be sure of all the figures.  Thanks for your help.

    Based on your actual usage £220 is probably enough for your DD at current prices, but that should drop to £200 based on the July & future prices for this year.

    I generally ignore the annual estimate figures and work out my own, I've never had them vastly inflated the way yours appear to be though.
