Has anyone had conversations with SO energy with regards to fixed tariff and the budget reductions from April 2026?
I called them to clarify their position as I am considering tranfering to them to an EV tariff. I asked if I signed up to their fixed tariff would they reduce the tariff in April when the discounts apply. I was told as I would be on a fixed tariff NO as the budget reduction would only apply to variable or standard tariffs and anyone on a fixed tariff would not have the reductions applied to their acaccounts.
I made the point that I was under the impression that they had agreed to pass on the discounts as I had read they would be in the Martin Lewis MSE. I was again told NO only standard and variable. I did record the call so that I cannot be challenged.
Anyone had similar conversations with them.

I just wonder what would be the view of the customers and the energy companies with regard to fixed tariffs and a new levy being introduced by the Government rather than a levy being removed?fireball1955 said:Has anyone had conversations with SO energy with regards to fixed tariff and the budget reductions from April 2026?
