Comments

I don't fancy a smart meter so Octopus is out of the running for me. Ovo knew what they were doing when they set the exit charges so high.1

but make sure your not going to be hit on exit fees, get it in writing off them
***update*** looking on ovo website there is a £30 exit per fuel to 1 of there other tariffsIf you're on a fixed plan
You must be in your ‘renewal window’ (which starts 53 days before the end of your contract) to change, or you may incur exit fees. Once renewed, the new plan will start when your current one ends.
Change from fixed to fixed:
Change from Better Energy to 2 Year Fixed Energy anytime – no exit fees.
Change from 2 Year Fixed Energy to Better Energy – £30 exit fee on each fuel if you change before the renewal window.
Change from fixed to variable:
Change from Better Energy to Simpler Energy – £30 exit fee on each fuel if you change before the renewal window.
Change from 2 Year Fixed to Simpler Energy – £30 exit fee on each fuel if you change before the renewal window.
so that reduces your exit fees to £600
