    Scottish Power now have a 1 Year Fixed Price tariff on sale.
    £50 per fuel early exit fees :)

    fuse worth a look at? No exit fees fixed tariff. Current octopus tariff expires in November and there’s no exit fees I can we fix with octopus to keep a similar direct debit for a further 12 months for piece of mind with the potential gas price rise, but then there’s potential it might be over and done quite quick with regarding the Iran war so then re fixing would be bad. That’s why switching to fuse sees ideal as I would pay an an early exit fee now and if prices drop I wouldn’t pay a switching fee from fuse

    I noticed the energy energy club tariffs dont mention including April 1st, however I checked Octopus on there and then compared to what Octopus say on their own website and the energy club did indeed include the April 1st adjustment. If you click change tariff on Octopus dashboard (or at least the day I checked), it shows you two prices, pre april and post april, and the post april price matched what was on the energy club, but the energy had no mention of april 1st adjustments. I noticed a lot of electric quotes looked pretty cheap on energy club (too good to be true, low 20s), it wouldnt surprise me if at least most of them are post april prices.

    All this should be far clearer but everything is dumbed down now with the obsession of annual estimated cost instead. I had no idea what the unit rate reduction was until I seen the Octopus dashboard quote. I couldnt find it published anywhere, not even in MSE articles. Same with Gas, I didnt know the unit rate adjustment until Octopus staff told me on Twitter it was 0.32p.

    No. Everyone gets the same mix of renewable/fossil/imported/nuclear etc. They don't fire up another windmill if you switch to a supplier promising 100% green electricity, nor do they shut one down iif You switch away.

    Don't know if you managed to get this sorted yet, but I had a very similar experience to you.

    Emailed Octopus on 26th February (before v6 was withdrawn) asking to switch to that fix. Received an email back from them 2 days later saying they had switched me as requested but, when I checked my account online, they'd actually switched me to v7 not v6.

    When I rang them up to query this, I got a 'computer says no' response from the customer service guy, basically saying he understood what I was saying but there was nothing he could do about it, as the tariff had been withdrawn. I then submitted a formal complaint (including my original email) to them by email and a manager sorted it and switched me to the v6 tariff from 26th Feb.

    Hope you manage to get a similar outcome eventually.

    You got lucky V6 was not on sale on the 27th.

    that’s not true. Regos do create new renewable generation as it drives investment

    But you still get the same gas/nuclear/biomass/hydro/wind/solar mix coming into your home. They may only pay for renewable but they can't say who gets it.
