Ovo Energy-yawn-d/d

Hi, I am an Ovo customer, no smart meter, I prefer to read my meter & ring through every 22nd month. Mines gone up to £148 pm, just me & electric only, don't have gas. Since sse changed to Ovo they've always told me I have to be 3 x my monthly dd payment in credit for them to even discuss a refund. So I just leave my £400 plus credit balance to rollover. I always find last 3 years anyway that even after my winter bill in about April I'm still in credit. I have 2 storage heaters downstairs & 1 electric heater upstairs in another room. Plenty of layers, hotties & covers, Sherpa covers are the best I find. If I keep to my routine I don't actually freeze😁.

Whilst the media focuses on the dual fuel cap - that has gone up 2% in Oct and only 0.2% in the recently announced Jan - due largely to the price of gas dropping - as their electric unit rates up over 5%.

Those of us on electric only - well multirate electric users - the profile class 2 cap - have seen this govts energy policies - not the energy suppliers - drag our energy costs up 3% in Oct and another 4.3% to come in Jan - that's 7.5% in 3 months.

Driving those paying the highest Ofgem rates for heating, further towards - if not already in - energy poverty.
