Thanks @Sid. Not great then are they?
Our location means a smart meter is a no. So a telephone line offers half hourly readings to Stark via EDF for the solar . Input to house, cottage and farm all go through that meter which we rent from...... EDF. It’s been changed twice.

EDF has quoted 15.06 for day rate. And 10.55 for night. We are not big users so not much leverage. Opus via Money supermarket saves £47 per year on today’s quote.
EDF rarely read the meter, but I do and the monthly DD is pretty spot on.

In the past have been with SSE and Scottish Power. All as bad as each other.

I'm also a small user, its worth trying Kings through MVF mine is around 14p and 9p

Went through the local co-operative for mine, currently on a temporary rate as my end dates not in line with theirs.

27p per day, 9p per unit day and 5.1 at night. Biggish use though

We use our own solar so not great leverage!

We have an account with them.
My experience is as follows.
They never read the meter so bounce from credit to debt with them.
They changed me to a smart meter ....and left the meter door open to the elements and we had some water ingress into the wall. Not their fault speak to the meter company ....who didn't want to know as contract not with them!
They then decided to change my tarriff to a day night one now I have a "smart" meter only its not very fecking smart as every single bill since has still been an estimate! Anyway had to challenge them to revert me back to the original single rate tarriff and a £100 sorry for the inconvenience.
Contract ends in April.
Will I renew not very likely but given the missed appointments with SSE lately they are all necessary evil!


Hope that helps?

latest on opus is now i have given them a corrected meter reading they have credited me all my invoices billed at 5% vat to rebilled at 20%. needless paperwork for me again on vat reclaim.
All because they estimated the bills for the last year. They have tried to dial in 3 months ago and couldn't so just left it to do its own thing again.

Our 3 yr was just up with e-on, it was 11.53p day and 6.64p night. SC 27p per day.

They wanted 18.41p and 12.18p to renew.

We’ve gone to British Gas who offered 14.29p and 8.52p plus £300 credit. On a 3yr.

I prefer to deal direct rather than these price comparison sites.

We use about 65,000kwh a year.

Watch the notice period on British Gas.
Was double all the others longer ago. They will hike the rates up after fixed period is over.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

You mean the notice to tell them if we want to change at the end?

Yes.

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Yes.

Ok, says 60 days in the paperwork. Not sure how that compares to others?

 

[theboytheboy]

Just trying to sort ours out.
Any thoughts on Opus as a micro business supplier please?

I'm gradually moving all our meters over to Opus. Found them competitive on price, easy to deal with, decent website to give readings and get pdf invoices etc much better than the various supplers we were with which included eon, sse, British gas, axis and dual energy.
Also find when I need to speak to someone it's always a quick call and problem solved

Whats a fit recovery? ( I have visions of a raven haired stunner arriving to fix my connection )

I am not sure what others will say , but we have just renewed with British gas for 3 yrs . 14 .10 day 9.89 Night and 20 pence standing charge through Love Energy
That was nearly a penny cheaper than most other quotes I had , so your quote sounds in the right area ,if you ask me

You will be disappointed. It's what we all pay towards subsidising Feed in Tariffs for Solar, wind and other generators.

 

[ollie989898]

Im shocked at how much gas (LPG) has gone up in a 12 month period, probably also close to 30%. The only thing I can think of is currency factors.

That and crude has been creeping up.

 

[Exfarmer]

I am keeping very quiet here!

 

[ollie989898]

Makes a mockery of the guardian BS when you are all being sold on peak leccy at 15 pence a unit and EDF are guaranteed 9 pence for Hinkley C. I could run 10 Hinkley Cs for under 10 pence a unit. Politics!

Unless prices have recently shot up again, that’s sounds quite dear to me especially for a 4 year tie in. I’m paying less than half your standing charge and around 12p flat per unit on a rolling deal via buying group.

Whats a rolling deal ?? You stay with the supplier but renegotiate? Standing charge is peanuts unless you have a lot of meters . 20 p is £6 a month ,so you save the £3 at 10 p standing charge .
12.10 sounds very good but try asking prices now . All seem to have gone up 10 % at least!!
