electricity bill help

Unlikely but do her neighbours have keys from previous tenants may be worth putting a dog cam in (or old mobile with Alfred app on)

Is it possible she has some mains operated appliances that she only uses when she's in by herself?

You told me the Anal fuck machine 5000 didn’t use much electricity

my daughter moved into her flat,she did a quote with octopus who said it would be £43 a month, however when she got her bill it was £300, six times the amount, she lives on her own ,is very careful,out all day at work and spends time at weekend at our house, can anyone give me some advice as to why this is so high,or someone to get in touch with regarding this, she has done something call a creep test where you switch off at the main ,keep it off for 15 mins, turn it back on to see if the reading has gone up , it hasn't, shes spoken to octopus , what can she do or who can she speak too

she turns off every appliance when shes not using it

Octopus like to quote low to get the business, it's what they do.

Not sure that’s entirely true. They (all providers) share their tariffs with price comparison sites so the quote will be based on kWh declared by the customer. When going directly they will use the same calculation and tariffs. If there was shenanigans going on then OFGEM would fine them.

You're probably right, i just went on three customers ( i'm one of them) all signing up at same time and our monthly bills going up by nearly 100% in 6 months.
Probably just gas prices rising

That could be Octopus thinking you were going to use more energy than what was declared on the quote so they have a duty to ensure you don’t get too far in arrears. If on a fixed rate then it won’t be gas prices rising while still in the fixed rate period, unless you’ve missed a direct debit!

Has someone hooked a weed factory into her house. Sounds very high

Just about to post the same.
Came across this at a mates house. Only found the extension lead from his mains to next door when lifting the floorboards for something else.
