Just make sure you get a accurate read and don’t over read a few units by ‘mistake’

Octopus website is crashing, looks like many people unable to submit meter readings.

Wonder how many will take this oportunity to "add" a little extra onto the meter reading. My Electric will go down by more then half since i am no longer Mining bitcoin as of today so the rise will hopefully not seem too bad

Reading the comments on that really reminds me how stupid some of the population are.

what is the going rate per KWH now.

i have been on a long fixed price contract so avoided all the price rise but the contrat ends soon and im worried what my new prices will look like

If you are coming out of a fix you're probably looking at at least a doubling.

still accepting money of course. No problem there.

Morning all. Some good advice from Martin Lewis in the two videos shared @the shadow and @Zenduri . I take it everyone who is currently on a variable rate, and therefore on the market cap, will be wise to take meter readings today before the market cap rise tomorrow. I'm currently on a 12 month fixed deal with Octopus that runs out on the 18th of April so presumably for me I should carry out my meter reading at the end of my fixed tariff before I then go onto the dreaded market cap rate?

you're correct, read it on the 18th as no point in you taking a reading for the SVT change tomorrow

All suppliers are getting hit hard today and tomorrow i expect. 2911 calls waiting and 704 active calls at the moment for EonNext.

Side note if you have a functioning smart meter there should be no need to take a read as it should poll a read at midnight

Thats what I thought. Mine submits half hourly readings, so I shouldn't need to manually send a reading in today! That was one of the main points of getting a smart meter!

 

[dlockers]

Luckily my smart meter has broken so I can tweak the value

You can also submit the reads tomorrow, or even in a few days without any problems.

The website allows you to select the date you took the reading.

Thanks, nice to know I have my thinking right.

Thanks, nice to know I have my thinking right.

i would prob still grab a photo of the readings though.

Going to be a lot of data pushed through the DCC tonight and tomorrow so the potential for something to break is higher and its prob worth at least having a manual record just in case lol

What's the rush, surely you've had the emails and know Octopus prices don't change until midnight on Saturday.
