Anyone heard of HomeEnergy?
I'm with Octopus in a 3-bed semi. I was lucky enough to sign up for fixed dual fuel for 2 years in June 21. So this ends in 4 days time. I hardly use any gas at all ever. I won't be using much LX either until it gets cold in September. Most comparison sites appear to have decided to give up. Weird. However, I found one…

Octopus Go Intelligent Tariff - recent changes

Can I be forced to have a smart meter?
Hi, I'm new here so please forgive any faux pas... but here goes. We have solar panels on the roof, which don't make us a huge amount of money; but they make us more than they would otherwise because we have an old analog meter which actually rolls backwards while the panels are generating juice. Obviously we'd like to…
