Looking for a new supplier

Options
Had solar for years but recently just added battery storage (tesla powerwall). Currently on a standard variable tariff with BG but surely there's a better tariff now for me as basically charging the battery with solar and off peak. Any supplier I should look at or site that can search for the best supplier/rate for me now please?

    Octopus seem to be the preferred choice for many. Worth looking at their website and/or contacting them to see what deals they have.

  • If going to Octopus be sure to ask around family and friends for a referral code too - that will earn you both £50 bill credit!

    Am I eligible for the Next Drive tariff?

    To be eligible for our Next Drive tariff you need to have a smart meter that can send us half hourly updates on your energy use. This is so we can bill you for the right rate.

    Ebico and Tomato have some interesting rates and lower s/c's if you want to live dangerously, oddly could not see a way to log in or any app's with Ebico!
