Very interesting eh?

What sort of hair did your parents milkman have?

Re: The energy crisis
I forgot to mention that I have my Dad's blue eyes and dark eyebrows and my mother's fifth tooth between canines.

Ditto, loads of hair but all the men in my family bald, including my sons who are well on the way. They are particularly sick about it. Doubtless I'll have some other nastier genetic surprise instead ...

Octopus Energy will finally take on all 1.5 million Bulb customers from tonight (Tuesday 20 December), as the agreement to transfer the failed energy firm completes. The deal with the Government to take over the failed supplier was initially made back in October, but it was delayed after other energy firms challenged the sale process. If you're a Bulb customer, here's what you need to know.

What will your new rates and standing charges be as I'd like to compare to Bulb seeing it's now owned by Octopus?
Their website currently says 403 Forbidden for me.
Bulb Rates for DD payments from January 2023
Electricity Unit rate 35.134p per kWh
Standing charge 38.9361p per day (£142.12 per year)
Gas Unit rate 10.3089p per kWh
Standing charge 28.4844p per day (£103.97 per year)

Re: The energy crisis
For comparison with Shell Energy (DD) tariff rates
Electricity
Unit rate per kWh:33.029p
Standing charge:49.54p per day
Gas
Unit rate per kWh:10.244p
Standing charge:28.48p per day
Update
We use about 15kWh electricity per day, so whilst we pay 11p more per day standing charge, we save (by comparison) around 30p per day - swings/roundabouts…

Your standing charge is very high for electricity I wonder how that pans out seeing your unit rate is cheaper.

Re: The energy crisis
Just amended the post, as I thought the same myself - with our usage, we are cheaper by around 20p per day…
