Yes, it does.

Also, as noted, people really do believe if they join a "green" tariff, they will get "green" electricity.
After all, thats how most things work, they dont consider it may not work like that in this case.

Ain’t that the truth.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

I had a look at our usage on their website and was surprised to see how much we had used recently.

According to them at least.

I sent them meter readings before the price hike on 1st October, and nothing since. I don't have a smart meter and no-one has come to read our meters. Their estimations are a bit wild.

Anyway, I shall send them readings before the Jan 1st hikes.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Isn't it advisable to send a meter reading at the start of each month to avoid estimate readings, I used to do this before getting smart meters?

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

As I pay by DD, meter readings are pointless except when tariffs change, or at the end of the year IMHO.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

When at OVO (Prior to Octopus) I sent readings every month.
I was then able to adjust my DD payment every month based on real readings.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Best to' adjust' your readings and time them, to make the best of any tariff changes. Smart meters can't do that. I might accidentally over read before prices go up at the end of the month. Easily done with my eyesight these days ;)

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

In other words, the real reason you dont like them is because you cant lie, cheat and falsify readings :dozey:

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Just buying energy in advance, like energy companies do. :)

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

And committing fraud ;)

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Definitely not pointless for me as I pay by DD which means I'm billed with real readings instead of their estimated readings.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Switched energy supplier. First time in a few years, seems worthwhile to do again. Not usually a fan of fixing but with prices going up in Jan, and also forecast to go up in April, now seems a good time.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Who's did you switch from and to?

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

From EON (leccy) and EDF (gas), to Outfox the Market for both. They have a good deal 12 month deal atm.

Re: UK Energy Prices
 

Never heard of Outfox the market, are your rates alot cheaper than what you had been paying?
