I'm currently in for around £500 credit with them, and they just reduced my monthly payment by around a quid.

From 01/04/2023, you'll be paying £110.00 on the 18th of each month
That's ridiculous
- I hate these storage heaters!
Your new Direct Debit of £80.00 per month will be active from 1st April 2023.
Just changed it, I'm £400 in credit ffs

Well its a given it will go back up but it should be by the £67, however the government has been pushing the suppliers to review DD amounts monthly instead of only once or twice a year. Octopus have previously stated they review every April.
Checked my account just now and its still at the reduced amount, I expect it will update when they take the next payment, they gave me £67 on Feb 1st then again on Feb 28th, so I assume that's my last £67.
If my DD goes back up to my normal DD, I will be £3 in credit.will see what they do.

Likely to happen a lot more as they try to price gouge consumers knowing full well they have likely secured lots of cheap energy in the recent few weeks.
Is the new norm going to be only 12 month deals not 24 or 36?
At first glance £2200 average seems good, but that suggests to me that costs are likely to go below that.
I am also not a fan on this annual cost nonsense, show me some unit rates.

Who btw, would like to go see the unit rates on these fixes.
Edit, ah its ovo, but you need to be a customer to see the rates. Anyone can report back what they are? A quick look suggests the average household will drop to £2000 usage by the end of year, so the £2200 fix may be costing you £200 for the security if it goes the other way.

Same. Unit rates should be the standard everyone measures their usage by. This nonsense of giving the annual cost is ridiculous as everyone is different.I am also not a fan on this annual cost nonsense, show me some unit rates.
Octopus have been great for us.
We were paying £30 a month but from last September they put us on a ‘payment holiday’ and it’s still £0 payment now. (£300 in credit)
Now the Government £67 payments have finished I’ll likely increase it to £20 to cover the standing charge

Those electric prices are savage. Is that’s what’s considered cheap these days!?

Sod the unit charges, the standing charges are obscene.
Almost £1/day or £30/month!!

Had smart meters installed yesterday and the engineer hands me the IHD and says rechargeable battery in it. Here's the lead to recharge.
Woke up this morning and no display
Plugs in
"Recharge Battery"
Leaves in, message stays
Thinks, hmmm I'll whip the battery out and recharge in my charger ....
Facepalm
Currently unplugging all non essential items and anything mainly on standby is going on a smart plug so can be off at the wall with a flick of the app

We've got that model, EDF?
Oven, hob, kettle, washing machine heater, iron all make it go amber. The first three are important, the last two less so.
We set a £7.00 budget which in cold weather we just met. Without central heating we manage on about £3.00 currently.
ofgen need to re-open the market (they edicted it could be closed to prevent churn) so suppliers are obliged to offer all tarifs to everyone ,
plus, they'd be exposed to stabilization charge liability.
also, similar to this pretense that there is a queue for octopus tracker, the allusion of an open market, and, we just don't have the man-power to swap faster - yes really

We're with Shell but think the Chameleon units are common to a lot of provides?
You should see it with the tumble dryer on
Yeah I was expecting a rechargeable battery or something built in! Bit of googling and apparently you will only get a few hours off a full charge anyways ... Bonkers
Ah, will take a look on the app later and see if it's still reporting ....
Absolutely horrid SC, and unit prices mediocre.
The electric price is only 1.2p a unit cheaper than the current SVR, how did they end up with such a big differential on their claimed typical annual usage cost, this is why its good to see the actual prices.
