You can shop around, while the cap is the same, they don't all charge the cap.

Which suppliers are accepting new customers at rates lower than the cap?

They're all similar I agree but you may as well go for the cheapest. Luckily I'm with Octopus so will get there low rate for current customers.

What’s the general view on Gas at the moment? We are currently on the capped standard tariff which is going up in April. Should we fix somewhere to prevent anymore increases come Oct?

Our annual gas usage is: 14641kwh per year and we’re currently paying 4.18p which is due to increase to 7.51p in April.

They are all within a couple of £ of the cap, except for Octopus but only for existing customers. If you find one which isnt then please let us know!

Guess you missed my last post. Lol

Even a few £££ if all it takes is a phone call why wouldn't you change.

I need to call but they are closed today. I’m with Octopus for electricity at the moment - will they take me for gas at favourable rates as an existing customer?

For new customers they'll be charging a whopping £2 below the price cap but they don't seem to be accepting any at the moment.

If Octopus will take you the typical user will save £2.

Better in your pocket than someone else's. Unless the phone call costs more than that.

So a £2 saving, if Octopus are accepting new SVT customers, is the best available by shopping around?

You should all just put some more clothes on and then turn your heating off.

Then turn your computers off as well. Then while you are at it switch your phones off and tvs off.

You all just cry babies.

Does that just have to be done once then when it renews it stays at that price? I'm asking as we currently have nrtflix through sky but it's getting cancelled soon so I'll need to set it up.

Yep turn VPN, resub, that sets your region
USe a fee free card to help as well

There's around a tenner a month saved - 20 Days standing charge haha

Thanks for your contribution.

My contribution was my first post on this matter, in that people should still check they're on the best rate they can get. Do I have to repeat it again and again.

 

[WorTortle]

Does anyone know the British Gas standard tariff? Because I'm an existing customer it won't show me as there are no current tariffs cheaper than what i have...no ship Sherlock. And trying to get a quote as a newbie is doing nothing

You can say it as many times as you like but a typical user shopping around will save at best £2 on the price cap if the supplier will accept you.

£2 here £2 there who cares. Up to you if it's a meaningless amount of money it's not for everyone.

and the same is going on in many office blocks nearly every building in a city/town has its heating on and lights on all the time when nobody is there.

Stop talking nonsense.

This is the new price cap, which is basically what every provider other than perhaps octopus are offering:

Gas:

• Unit rate: 7.37p per kWh
• Standing charge: 27.22p per day

Electricity:

• Unit rate: 28.34p per kWh
• Standing charge: 45.34p per day

Stop talking nonsense.

Believe me, when I worked for the council during covid lockdowns the lights and heating were on from 7.30am-7.30pm Mon-Sun despite almost no one being there.
