"Plus there's the whole issue of how the post-April 1st '£150 a year' cut (for an average bill) will work out in practice"

+ approx £40 WHD cost recovery being moved from SC to UR spread across both fuels from 1 April, change unlikely to be automatically applied to existing fixes. anyone who prefers lower SC might be prudent to wait until after 1 April to take on a new fix with exit fees. or visa versa.

That means the most anyone will save by this change is £40pa

i.e. those who do not use any energy at all. We're talking empty homes, perhaps second homes or holiday homes, Maybe at a push homes being renovated (but expect some energy usage at those). Or those who get all their energy from the sun and have batteries for when there is no sun.

In reality, most of those who occupy their homes, even the very lowest of users, are probably only going to save about £20pa.

Chances are, unless they are already on a very competitive fixed deal (probably a NLA one), then they could possibly save over £10 between now and April.

As you say, for all others (and I've read a lot from people on this forum who clearly do not like the idea of lower standing charges), they shouldn't waste a moment longer.

If you like what you see, grab it whilst you can. A bird in the hand …
