Yep as @QrizB said they have retired it, but during the summer you will have a smaller daily rate. You have got time to look for options going forward. E7, cosy or snug fro octopus and then other suppliers.

Just when you scored the winner they moved the goalposts. 

Do you shift other appliances to the E10 rates?

EDIT it’s a shane you can’t charge them an early exit fee🥴

All my electric changes to the off peak timings not just my heating

Ovo won’t even quote me and octopus said I need to be a customer before even looking at snug 

What Octopus is telling you is that you will need to be on a smart meter that can switch on your heating circuit and moved to them before they can put you onto the Snug tariff, they can't just move you straight to Snug as they have to make sure the smart meter is working so they can put you on a smart tariff like snug.

I'm on Snug Octopus and tonight they emailed me my new 1st July prices.  The day and night rate stay the same but my standing charge drops by over 2p.

Although I don't use a lot during the warmer months you can see by my graph use that between 4pm-5pm everything (storage heaters, hot water, cooking, anything) is the 9p cheap rate.  I believe when the clocks change in the winter the cheap afternoon slot moves to 3pm-4pm.

Also although Octopus state cheap snug times are between 12:30- 6:30am, at present most nights it starts from around 11pm to 11:30pm.

My meter is switching my heaters on at peak times 

In fact ALL my electric switches over on the off peak timings not just the heaters 

Will this be the same if I go with octopus??

I got the same letter from EDF.  It was sent before I changed my meter to a smart meter and is the svr at the cap.  You need to call them and get them to offer you an E10 tariff, which I think they are only offering in 2 regions when I looked first the July tariff, or an E7.  At the minute you may find it cheaper to stick with the svr through the summer, but clearly get on E7/10 (if they offer it you) be for the autumn tariff change.

Yes, Snug works that way.

Have you had a chance to look at Good Energy and their heat pump tariff? I couldn't tell from their website whether you had to have a heat pump in order to join, but if they'll let you on, it might work for you?

Did you call them and ask? They certainly have E10 plans, their latest 1-year fix only a couple of days old. These are the rates for somewhere in the North East (Alnwick, I think):



Infuriatingly, they never publish their rates ahead of a change in the price cap. These are from their Plans page; I expect next quarter's SVT ('Simpler Energy') to be a few p lower, but there's no knowing how they'll compare with Wednesday's fix.

I’m going to try and switch to octopus snug … I will ring them on Monday 

i will also ring OVO 

i will also ring EDF and ask what they are playing at … I prefer eco 10 but I am fed up of EDF ..the stress by lack of communication etc is a joke 

snug will give me a afternoon boost as well …

thank you everyone…much appreciated
