    Just completed switch to Robin Hood Energy today. Today I also get an email advising they are putting up their prices as of 22nd April 2017 !

    This is for the Robin Hood Energy Evergreen E7 Tariff:

    Standing charge stays at 21.99p per day

    Day rate increased from 11.82p per kWh to 19.28p per kWh
    Night rate increased from 6.57p per kWh to 9.97p per kWh

    As both of these are significant increases I wanted to let people know as the Energy club calculator still shows the current (old) tariff rates.

    Also if you have an Economy 7 meter, Robin Hood Energy cannot put you on a single rate tariff only their Economy 7 ones !

    I've just witched my electricity only at the end of the British Gas Collective Switch. The letter doesn't show the percentage increase but it has gone up rom 11.29 p kWH to 15.40 and my projected spend has gone up from £715 to £957. Hopefully the details on the Energy Club calculator will be updated as it looks like its time to shop around again after a month.

    It isn't true that if you have a E7 Tariff with RHE you can't have a single rate tariff.

    The price increase on Evergreen is high but there is a 12 month fixed Prime V8 available or Nottingham fixed V8 if you live in Nottingham.

    Worth checking out those tariffs too

    Hi

    Robin Hood energy, everything seems to be questionable.

    The answers given are not substantive.

    Really poor all round.

    Now with a price hike of almost 50% they are now robbing the poor to pay the rich?

    Ebico zero is their suggested alternative.

    My problem is my calculation of my annual usage differs greatly.

    Have been with Robin Hood for about 5 months and haven't had any problems that haven't been sorted quickly on the phone.

    But with the impending price rise, I'm plumping for Iresa. We'll see how that goes...

    I've been with them for 3 months. Time to switch again.

    The market is a joke

    oh well, that didn't last long, took a gamble when requested switch 3 weeks ago & didn't go for a fixed rate, silly me! not due to switch until tomorrow, but even with our low use on electricity only, it's going to be increasing by 25% on the standard rate from 22.04.17.

    off we go again...! IRESA look the cheapest at the moment, 12 month fix & no exit fees. not the best reviews, but other providers are all new names too, so worth taking a punt, probably!

    Yep, same here. Fire up the browser tonight. Over 60% increase for us!

    Next time Government promise us all "choice" maybe consider these shenanigans. I saved a couple of hundred quid in the first year I switched, since then it's like treading water. Combined with the yearly insurance phone call "oh we've magically found you a saving of £100 on the premium we sent you" phone call I'm getting decidedly tired of this brave new world of "choice".

    crikey, just read the feedback thread on here for IRESA & their facebook/twitter, don't think i'll bother with them! cheap, yes, but would appear almost impossible to contact & they don't reply to any communication. lots of complaints...

    My bill will jump from £950 to £1200 a year. Moneysupermarket shows they are now more expensive than 75% of the market.

    Are there financial problems at Robin Hood or something?
