Also. Yours is only a year. So the benefit is likely to be minimal.
Mine was 3 years. Which has a lot more leg y room.
It's probably 50/50. If it was 3 years. I'd say go for it. 1 year.. Much more unimportant

Yeah seems we agree then, I think I said if it was 18 months or more I would take it.
Yes. If it spanned next winter it might be different. I don't think I'd have taken mine had it not been for 3 years. 1 year is only one unknown away.
What unit rate did you get?
17 March 2021 day reading 33,800, 26 February 2022 day reading 34,910 = 1,110 kWh
17 March 2021 night reading 7,657, 26 February 2022 night reading 14,607 = 6,950 kWh
8,060 kWh and nealy three weeks short of a full year.
A quote with Octopus for 1,110 kWh day and 6,950 kWh night in Kent comes out at £184.22/month.
I'll ask again:

Definitely a good choice that.
Yea im guessing that the 200 per month is well over the usage so ill be in the green in no time with them.
Certianly a lot better than what Octopus offered me.
From what i gather EON are currently the cheapest. It is for people in my area of wiltshire anyway
I went through Octopus and it asked me based on usage from LOW to HIGH, Economy mode 7, Electric only and after selecting "HIGH" usage ( based on a family, 4 bedroom house ), it gave me that quote with it saying the Tariff was a limited offer.
I also selected that I may need help with bills and read outs as I'm Autistic, it gave me that option of around £80 a month. It also added £50 based on a family member using the service, AND if the bills are wrong over the months it will increase to the proper read out. It was the ONLY company that didn't double the night rate which so far every company I've looked at has.
EON for Kent said that Standing charge was 53 and night rate was around the same, with it being around £200 a month with no Gas. Very very high
You're telling us you've got rates substantially cheaper than have been available in the market for some time and completely at odds with the quote I did very shortly after you said you switched. If I do the quote now for "high usage" in Kent it comes out at £208.27/month so it's very hard to believe less than 24 hours ago they were offering a deal at less than half that.
Please post the rates for the deal you've taken, i.e. the daily standing charge and per kWh day and night.
Hmm just checked maybe I did Medium, but even that's gone up to £126!
Which is more to what I use, I don't have a 4 bedroom house! - Still if my bills amounts are wrong, as Octopus has said my bills will increase. I can see me paying around £100-120 a month for Energy. And yes I'll be pulling back on any electric used for the next bill.
The unit rates and standing charge are also the lowest I've ever come across!
Electricity
Daily standing charge Question mark icon 24.12p /day
Unit rate (day) Question mark icon 41.2p /kWh
Unit rate (night) Question mark icon 23.96p /kWh
Early exit fee £0
Anyway not going to debate this anymore, wrong or rightly it's still going to be extremely high for me, especially being disabled!

I'm trying to work out how you got to £70-£80/month. The only was I can see it is you selected "low usage" which comes out at £75.26/month.
Let's apply the rates you've quoted to your usage for 49 weeks.
365 x 24.12p = £88.04
1,110 x 41.2p = £457.32
6,950 x 23.96p = £1,665.22
Total £2,210.58 or £184.21/month, £195/month over a full 12 months.
You stuffed up.

If those figures are corect, they are offering to fix you for 1 year at the april prices. Certainly we get another rise in October. This would make it a good deal relatively, its not cheap its just better then you will get doing nothing & going into next winter. You have to decide personally but they are being nice to you on that offer afaik, so you are no worse off over summer and given a fix protecting vs future rises seems good to me tbh
EON only offer this to people already with EON last I checked ?
Only other thing I can think of is to go Octopus and they have some 'low' rates during the day if you are very careful on which hours you use it, so that needs a smart meter. I dont know that works out as cheap just seems feasible if true
Given how poor my deal is from Octopus and we know they offering good smart meter deals, I wonder if those deals are been subsidised by legacy meter customers now? The 12 month deal I got offered is significantly worse than what EON is offering people.
on the verge ? - getting a fixed term with a major, would be my choice , anyway.
- suppliers are demanding a more frequent update to the cap too, to protect themselves.
