Gas & Electricity

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Depends on what your kWh rate was.

Flexible Octopus for us is currently

Electricity 29.94p/kWh, 49.77p SC per day
Gas 7.51p/kWh 27.47p SC per day

I'll have a look later when I get in from work. Cheer Al.

Just took delivery of another 4 bags of logs I’m set for winter now, hoping to use as little gas as possible this year

I’ve just fixed with shell energy. The per/kWh rates were about the same as before (fractions of a pence more per kWh) but the SC on my fas has dropped by 10p/day.
As I don’t use much energy in comparison to families with two kids at home, I’ve taken it until September 2024.
I may lose out of the cap drops in October but it gives me affordable certainty for the winter so I thought “why not”.
Last year was horrible not knowing what the latest cap fete was going to be. Never again.

Hey up Al. Just checked my EDF tariff and on sep 1st I'll be paying leccy 31.10 and standing 61.82(wtf)
Gas will be 7.54 and standing 29.11. So it seems that octopus is shittin all over my EDF. Can I ask, are you on flexible account for a reason ? I heard maybe they'll come down again soon? And also, do you know if them prices you quoted are still viable ? Cheers in advance mucker.

It was the default one we landed on when Bulb went pop. There was no point fixing in January when we were migrated over.

I assume they’re still available, they’re what I see when in their app.

The will come down a bit in October, when the new cap starts, but they’re not great at telling you what they are beforehand, in my expertise with them so far.

Cheers for the reply mucker. So would I be able to join, go on the variable, then lock in when they come down ? Or will I have to tie in to deal straight away ?

Probably worth speaking with them, but I assume you could just switch to their standard variable rate.

There aren’t any exit fees, so you could change to a fixed rate whenever you wanted.

standing charges are still beefy;

underneath this energy producers are still screwing everyone, however i disagree with him in that while some providers are loss-making, British Gas took this piss this year.
