Just got the same email with an increase of £3 a week. Plot twist - energy companies know a lot of people are working from home, "winter is coming" and they want to milk it.

Or something to do with the wholesale costs shooting up massively after going down significantly in 2020.

Two emails received after a quick look in 2020, one saying they are going down saving £4.67 a year and another saying an increase of £3.88 a month 6 months later

Should be with you now, cheers!

I remember a time when we used to take it in turns at refferal codes.

I did suggest a rota but it didn't get anywhere.

Also, this is the first referral I've had after many attempts to be first. It's a crappy situation but hey ho.

Email from Bulb today to say prices are going up, pretty sure that's the third time this year!

Same position, but when I looked on the comparison sites, there weren't any decent deals. Gonna have to suck up higher costs, though my solar panels will effectively pay them selves off faster.

Ha turns out I'm with EDF not E-on!

Mysterae_ · 28 Aug 2021 at 03:09

My current variable tariff is below, wondering how it compares to others here.

Standing charge - 26.10p
Unit rate - 18.077p

I think I'll be looking at comparison sites later today.

ristac · 28 Aug 2021 at 10:26

My Igloo and I can give a referral code if you need one, £25 each single or £50 if you take dual fuel. It's coming out cheaper than Octopus for me.

Electricity unit rate (inc. VAT)
16.930p/kWh
Electricity standing charge (inc. VAT)
23.321p/day

b0rn2sk8 · 28 Aug 2021 at 10:58

Prices depend on location so you’ll just need to do a comparison on one of the usual sites. Posting rates here is pointless.

Yep, apparently whose sale prices increasing.

Is the UK still too reliant on gas for electricity?

If you're on Octopus this might be useful. One hour of free electricity every month. Could be a good hour to crank those electric heaters in winter for some free heat

For any of those old GNE (Green Network Energy) customers that were moved to EDF, they should double check that the tariff they were given at the beginning of their contract is the same one that GNE told EDF they were on, especially if they cancelled their Direct Debit after GNE went into Administration.

There was quite a bit of difference in tariff cost for me and I'm presently going through the complaint system before taking my issues to the regulator.
