If your boiler is only offering 10-30ºC range on the system temp, then it must have weather compensation, otherwise you'd be setting a flow temperature in the 35-75ºC range.

I'd be more interested knowing what the hour's after consumption is, as I bet most of that 12kWh was spent getting the house and radiators to temperature. After that, all the boiler has to is maintain that temperature.
Fair enough, nothing in the documents they gave me indicate that, but makes sense.
I'm sure it would be lower, but I was trying to get a worst-case scenario to work backwards from. But weather compensation might be messing that up any way.

Typical, I'm on the highest N Wales and Mersey. Today is my last day on the cheap GO tariff 5/15p
.Start on the Go Faster at midnight tonight, 8.25/42p, 9.30PM to 2.30AM cheap rate, my use is 4-5kW daily summer months.
Kinda yes and no. They can't really pin-point where the usage is. But using the hour graph i was able to work out which devices were spiking my energy usage. It needed some detective work on my part but it did help.
Makes me laugh how I don't hear about them much anymore.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I don't see any mention of it after my brief scan of the previous page or two.
When are people making their first increased, or revised, direct debit payments which were forecast to change from the 1st of October? I'm yet to receive anything official from EDF about my new prices. Although the prices appear to have been leaked, it would at least be considered good courtesy to formally let us know what our prices will be, so we can forecast our future payments.
So if the new prices start on 01/10/2022, are they also expecting us to immediately alter our direct debits accordingly, starting from the same date? If so, I don't think that's enough time to amend my direct debit amount. So surely they expect our new payments to start after 01/11/2022?

People have posted the rates from EDF in the last page or so, easy to work out your new amount from that. As for when they start. Let's say your bill is generated on the 20th of each month. Your next bill will be split into two parts, old rate 21st - 30th September and new rate 1st - 20th October.

The new rates have been showing in the app for a week or so & I think my girlfriend said that we got an email also. No news on our monthly D/D changing but they upped it to £141 a few months back from £80 anyway.

Im not lol
They (eon next) wanted to up my DD from 200 a month to 379
Told them where to go and that if they couldn't provide me a meter that worked (****** SMETS1) that any estimate they made was utter ***** and they could either keep my DD at 200 or I'd simply cancel the DD
DD is now set at 200 lol

I like how imagining these conversations went in reality vs how they are reported.
Yep, assuming the same usage and similar winter temperatures (it's not actually going to be the same, we are lowering the temp a bit). It's not that far off average though, it's a detached 4/5 bed so total gas use is 16,000kwh a year under that heating profile. Also given the age of the boiler I suspect upwards of 3000kwh of that is wasted. Trouble is that even under these 10p prices it's still a 7+ year pay back and I don't think we're staying here long enough to get that investment back

Well I still don't know the Sainsbury's energy Economy 7 prices but today they have updated my direct debit. I'm £132 in credit and they've reduced my DD from £75 to £7 per month. lol, I'll take that for now.
Eon still can’t tell me what will happen to my fix on 1st October. I asked that if they couldn’t tell me what the rates would be that they swap me onto the standard variable. They haven’t done that so now my fix has started. Looks like I’ll be arguing with them over a few pence that they’ll need to refund me…
In January and February alone this year, we got through almost 7000kwh gas, with annual usage close to 21k kwh so these amounts don't suprise me at all. Baseline usage is remarkably low at around 250 kWh per month but the house is a detached Victorian, solid walls, large single glazed bay windows with high ceilings, it simply takes a lot of energy to heat and we both work from home. This is with a new boiler and tado controlling the temperature in each room independently.
There is much to be said for older housing stock, but energy efficiency is not one of them!
On the flip side, we don't use a lot of electricity!

I don't understand why EDF haven't yet emailed me with the new prices. But, as you say, they have been leaked - but it would be nice EDF actually told me.
I was expecting to be paying the increased direct debit from the 1st of October, which is when my direct debit is. But they haven't advised me on new prices or to revise my direct debit, so it feels more of a guessing game to me, until they tell me otherwise.
We upped our DD a few months back to below what was suggested at the time.
We're now a bit in credit and our DD isn't changing in October. Yet, anyway.
Not sure how the estimates are ever calculated, we're fully smart metered and yet our use never seems to get up to their estimates.
