Eon do mine every fortnight, don't know why but they do.

Energy prices always seem to drop in April and June and rise in October and January.

Supply and demand inflation should be banned on energy.

Edf was twice a year which was pants , literally just changed to monthly in the last two months , much easier to budget and understand the charges better

Octopus have said in April prices will drop as that’s cheap gas from last year they’ve bought, unfortunately that’s when most stop using it fir heating so pretty irrelevant

Yeah, it followed a similar pattern last year too. Lower the price when we don’t use it as much and raise it when we do.

Let’s see what happens in October.

In theory if no one is using it that cheap gas should still be available but we know it won’t be

For a quick fix, set your heating control to come on when the temp drops below 5° should keep it off until you guys sort out what to do.

I wonder if they say that this time next year, when they bought it last year it was 102p per therm, now its only 58p per therm, which looks like it will end up being the new normal. The last time it was this low was June 2021.

Going off their logic of buying in advance it will mean it goes up before plummeting again, maybe?
