Electric Meter 6 years out of certification
I've been trying to get Octopus Energy to install a smart meter for a year now with no success. I know lots of people don't want one, but I do, and I've been writing and waiting and writing and waiting. My electricity meter was installed in 1971 and last certified in October 1992. As a Ferranti FNN2Q its certification ran…

Bright app, Glowmarkt download and export data
My smart meter measures both my electricity usage (import) and the export from my solar panels. When I look on the Bright app it will show me half-hourly data of both import and export. The same company responsible for the Bright app (Hildebrand) also lets me download my usage data from the Glowmarkt website. But the…

Hi, I've had to turn my heating off as I have oil and so looking at other options. My house is not suitable for a heat pump, but I have seen Sunsave offer a subscription solar panel option. I don't have the money to pay up front for solar panels. Has anyone got information (good or bad) about this company? thanks

Do we need a smart meter to move from prepayment to fixed direct debit?
Hi everyone, I'll cut right to the chase. Whenever I input my address to get a quote from a company, we are simply told in some form or another "hey, you have a prepayment meter, call us for a quote". I don't mind at all honestly but my parents are still wearing their tinfoil hats regarding them. We've been on prepayment…

When do you think energy companies will announce the 1st April prices for people on fixes?
How long will they leave it? Or is the plan to try and get away without offering the reduction? Citing “extraordinary circumstances”, “challenging conditions”, etc I’d like to know how much I’ll be paying.

E7 active period differs from billing period
While monitoring my energy usage I noticed that for the first 30 minutes my E7 (off peak) becomes active (Midnight - 00.30) I am being charged on the peak rate tariff not the off peak. As this is when all my appliances on off peak circuits start drawing power it's my highest cost of my E7 active period (Not tariff period).…

Timing is everything they say. I recently got a new job which comes with an ev company car. I got a smart meter fitted a month ago and charger last week but on trying to add ev on my then provider, edf was told they were removed from sale. So I looked at the market and liked Scottish Power because they offer an ev specific…

Credit balance refund and billing mistakes
I'm with one of the big energy suppliers, on a dual fuel dd standard rate, have been for about 5 years. At some point a few years back there was a misreading with my gas meter reading (must've been me, since I've not seen a meter reader in about 10 years). It was an over read, so I got billed for too much gas. Never…

Scottish Gas Annual Boiler Service
I have a Homecare Contract with British (Scottish) Gas and last week received an email from them, saying that it was time for my annual service visit for my boiler. Now this is the beginning of March and last year it was serviced at the end of June, which was actually earlier than normal (usually August). Anyway I accessed…

Smart Export Guarantee while on an OVO Fixed Tariff
I have invested in a 8kW of solar panels with a Tesla Powerwall 3 set up that will be installed next week. Long term it looks like the best tariff for this set up will be Octopus' Intelligent Flux tariff. However in the near term I am contracted to OVO on their Extended Fixed plan, with two £75 early exit penalties for…

E.ON Next Fixed 15M v7 MSE exclusive tariff
Hi all, I've taken the plunge and late last night started the switch to this E.ON Next exclusive tariff, mainly because MSE suggested I could save £531 a year. It shows monthly DD of roughly £250 (£100 less than current provider's recommended amount) but I cannot find the actual unit prices and standing charges anywhere!…

I know I can swich suppliers 49 days prior to the 1st July without incurring the early exit fee's, but can I agree to switch providers before the 49 days and still be fee free? For example, in my case the 49 days…

Octopus IOG - 8p Off-Peak Rate
Octopus have moved IOG to a 6 month fixed only for now, with 8p overnight, and a rather expensive day rate too. For new customer/renewals only (for now). I wonder what they'll do to the variable IOG off-peak rate folk are already on.
