They are all pretty much the same, some like MSE offer cash back incentives.
Just which ever you use make sure you check the box to see the whole market not just those which you can switch to through the site.
Many suppliers have referral links which are better than Quidco and MSE cash back so check those before switching.

My post from last week. Did find out yesterday though that there are no exit fee's so having a look about for better deals but not finding a lot.
They don't. Clever use of words in the contract but it actually says you agree to be contacted about having one fitted. I just ignored there calls and emails, was with them for about 18 months on that contract no issues other than a call and email each month to ignore.

Hi, it's E.ON. As part of your current energy tariff you agreed to have smart meters fitted and we're now ready to fit yours. You'll soon receive a message from 07860 027490 to book your appointment. For more info about smart meters and the changes we've made to our installation process to keep you and our colleagues safe, go to eonenergy.com/smartsms. Please reply to the message that follows.
Any reason why you refused to get one?
I don't want them until I'm happy to have them.
I got that email I've a month, just ignore it. It's what's in the contract that counts.

Fair enough. I can't see any downsides personally. If anything it will hopefully mean I pay less as I tend to build up a large credit over the year.
I pay for what I use so would make no difference.
What would make you happy to have them? They are going to become necessary soon to allow dynamic use of resources such as vehicle to grid etc
2025 it will be required to have one for a new tariff, also i dont know of a provider installing legacy meters any more..
Generally takes about 21 days - apparently because they wait for the end of the 14 day cool off period before they do any work...

FYI for anyone interested, my SMETS1 meters are now reporting data to Eon again after going dumb for a number of months. Must have been upgraded after I switched from Shell/First Utility who fitted them a few years ago.
Still no bill yet though.

How is your energy green? Do you have cabled direct from renewable sources? If not then your energy is produced at the nearest power station to you. Just because they say it's from 100% renewable sources does not mean the power you consume is. It means the company only support renewable sources.

I think you are being a bit obtuse there..... if you want to argue the semantics then take it up with octapus I am just using the same definition as them.
Every unit of energy l use octapus purchase the same amount of renewable energy.

Anyways either way what ever.... My main point is that imo it's really good value. Any green credentials is just the icing on the cake.
