2023 only applies to new-build properties. Currently no date for existing installations and I expect it to be many years before there is one.

Thanks, I had only picked up on the headlines and they were somewhat misleading

Despite our usage being around £60 for the last few months and having £250 in credit on the account the Bulb app refuses to let me set my monthly to less than £95

It's currently set at £90 so I could overpay over the last few months

Pretty annoying considering they might go under and I want to chip into the credit a bit

same and octopus havent contacted me yet. Should have switched to the bigger guys in hindsight

You should have received some sort of email? Did Avro have your most up to date info?

No confirmation on the costs as yet but I've had 2 or 3 emails already from Octopus about the takeover from Avro.

Has anyone received any account details from EDF after Utility Point went bust? All I've received so far is a "Welcome" email.

It can take weeks, I wouldn’t worry about it at this point.

I've heard nout from Octopus either, but I thought that was because the switch to Avro never took place even though it appears to have done so. I've not heard from Green's successor Shell either.

All made an issue by the fact that both Green and Avro went bust the day before the switch was due to take place, so it's all rather uncertain.

like this says - https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/c.../claim-back-credit-from-your-energy-supplier/

How to claim ....
Contact your supplier and tell them how much credit you’d like them to refund you. Their contact details should be on your bill or online account.

Thanks i didn't know that, I will try and contact them which I'm assuming might be futile at the moment but I'll try and get through

How different were the readings you submitted?

£500 higher than current estimate rejected
£300 higher accepted (with photo, actual reading, my estimate was lower than actual)

It took over two months when I got transferred from Green Energy Network to EDF.

I was with Igloo.
Got the email today from E.On.

Wow.

Just did a comparison out of interest for Scottish Power who signed up for.

Nearly 8p a unit for gas!

No one would sign up for that

 

[MissChief]

Most of the prices are around that tbh.

I think I got a 3 year fix at 5.5p just incase it does just keep going up

Could always cancel your direct debit and then set it up again in a couple of months once you've eaten through your credit.

What is the p/kWhr price atm, I believe my fix is currently 17p . I’m dreading the move to variable.. I was subscribed to the mse cheap energy club but got a message today that they are pausing recommendations ..

Whose that with, 3 years sounds ok as it will be rising in April also. Anyone got 5 years, long term fix is more justified vs risk

 

[b0rn2sk8]

5.5p? Your mad, that’s well above the cap and still well above what’s being muted for April. Most people are paying around 4p.

mare you talking about the daily standing charge whether you use electricity or not?

No he's referring to the unit cost of gas. Typically the longer fixed terms have a higher price because you are then shielded if the price goes up further (assuming your supplier doesn't go bust). But you may pay well over the odds for gas at the start of the term compared to what you might save at the end.

It's similar to mortgages, if you fix for longer - 10 years then the monthly cost is more than a 2/5 year fix.
