DCC has kindly clarified to us that the meters themselves won’t be replaced, it’s just the communications hub (i.e. the “router” that connects the meters in the home to the network). This is still a very big job, and it still requires a site visit to pull off, but it’s also a quicker and simpler job than when a Smart Meter is first fully installed.

Re: The energy crisis
Seem very complicated these not so smart meters.
I like my system. I read the meter when it suits me, and they send a bill. I then pay it, everyone's a winner.
I also don't give them a phone no so they don't waste their time, trying to flog me a smart meter, I'm kind like that

At this rate I'm going to have a hell of a balance building up.

I refer you to a previous post.
Quote:
It’s illegal for your energy supplier to chase you for debts older than 12 months, unless you’ve been actively avoiding paying them in which case the deadline is something like 7 years.

They clearly were not "actively avoiding", and 18 is way past 7, even if they were.

Re: The energy crisis
Bills rising by an average of £94 pa from January to £1,928 pa, Ofgem has just announced.
This 5% rise is attributed to higher wholesale prices and a change in the energy cap calculations. Unwelcome as it is, I guess it's in line with inflation. https://news.sky.com/story/energy-pr...unces-13013686

Current Wholesale gas prices are approx. 40% of last year’s price at this time…

Re: The energy crisis
My gas charge for the past month was just over twice the Standing Charge.

That's a good thing as Octopus are great to deal with.

Re: The energy crisis
I'm joining the migration from Shell to Octopus club too. Originally joined them as First Energy. Their email did emphasise I wasn't to switch myself but wait my turn. Presumably they've run this past their lawyers but as I'm not on a fixed tariff, thought I could leave when I wanted to.

Just let it all happen automatically, any credit you have will be transferred over, it took a while before I was moved but I keep monthly metre readings and it was all correct when the transfer did go through.
