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…

British Gas crazy change to direct debit
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this crazy incompetence from British Gas electricity billing… My account was due to be slightly in debt so British Gas did a recalculation and put up my direct debit by over 30%. I didn't argue with that, even though it seemed a lot. They then changed by direct debit, just…

Intelligent Octopus Go limiting cheap charging.
Octopus are limiting their off peak charging rates on Intelligent Go to 6 hours a day from January 2026. This will effectively be 42kwh max per day but Ohme chargers often lower the charge rate according to the grid thereby going over the 6 hours. Octopus are blaming Ohme, hopefully it will be resolved before the limit is…

Fixed rate Octopus
I am aware that Octopus now charge "early leaving fines" on fixed rate deals What concerns me - is what happens to tariffs - come August (I am on fixed August 2025 v3) ? Will we be offered a fixed rate deal then or is it worth investigating now ?

British gas fixed - seem to have higher standing charge in april bill than Feb statement?
Hi, recently martin lewis advised everyone to fix and said: "•Plus, fix now, and unprecedentedly the rate you lock in at will be reduced on 1 April. This is because qovt is changing the underlying way energy bills work and moving some policy costs to general taxation. That reduces the elec & gas unit rates even for those…

Aclara smart meter + Scottish Power + Off peak electric water heater immersion
Surprise there isn’t more awareness about this whole farce ongoing considering most flats in this area have no gas what so ever and are all hooked up with electric water heaters.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg73vm8yzv2o/ three different takes on projected input of current policy - one biased more by Iran perhaps. "Another forecast, by energy supplier Octopus, suggests electricity bills could increase by at least 15% by 2030, with grid investments and other costs adding about £260-£300." And…

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…

Hello, could anyone, please, tell me if prepay gas meter has to ran out of credit before it can be changed? I have an ancient meter, button of which became unresponsive, so I'm having trouble topping it up.

Octopus Tracker
I just wondered about people's experiences with this tariff and whether they feel they are winners or losers. I got a quote from them yesterday, and I have to say I find the numbers highly misleading. The figures are very attractive, beating even the good fixed rate tariff I got from Avro, but presumably based on an…
