Cable Forum - UK Energy Prices

No emails from Octopus about price changes here apart from my projected energy costs looking lower for the next 12 months in my monthly statement, I reduced my DD to £110 a month from £134 as I'm over £300 in credit and I think my smart thermostat saves me money as the heating is off more when I'm not at home with me switching it on an hour before I leave work if needed.

Re: The energy crisis

EDF trying to fob me off onto a smart meter today.

Quote:

When is the RTS being shut down?

The Radio Teleswitch Service is to be shut down on the 31st of March 2024.

This means from April 2024, meters that rely on the Radio Teleswitch Service could lose the ability to perform key functions such as the use of off-peak timings. If you no longer need your off-peak hours you could still lose important functions such as heating and hot water depending on the meter type.

These changes are industry-wide and will affect both domestic and business customers with an RTS meter.

Don’t worry we're here to help. We can install a smart meter, which will allow your existing heating and hot water to work without needing to use the radio signal.

I dont need one as I'm on a single tarriff [dual readings], in other words, I give them both readings but they just add them together for the single rate. When RTS shuts down, all that will happen is the "night" meter will no longer clock up anything, as there will be no signal to switch to it, everything will get logged on the day meter.

Re: The energy crisis

My supplier EOn called about a smart meter, I said that Im still looking into them as Ive heard a lot of bad things about them and don't want one yet

Re: The energy crisis

I sent in my meter readings earlier today. New rates from tomorrow. Lower unit prices but higher daily Standing Charge?

Great, punish the low energy users, the grippy fecks get you one way or another, the wholesale price is going down, not to worry we'll get them another way

Re: The energy crisis

Our fixed duel fuel contract with Octopus ends at the beginning of September and I'm hoping prices may fall a tad lower before winter hits.

Not looking forward to the price hike we will face when our 2 year fix ends.

Scottish Power website experiencing technical issues, but they're working hard to fix them as quickly as possible. Apparently they'll be back shortly.

Something tells me I need to get a smart meter and get on agile or tracker, are there any negatives to this, are your charges sometimes for than the flexible rate?
