Electricity tariffs/Prices

Just agreed with EON Next.

2 year fixed.
s/c 30p/day
28.3p/kwh

Based on 28,000 kwh annual usage

Nothing much (1p) between 1, 2 and 3 year prices.

 

[Timbo]

34.8p \ unit , 40p \ day s.c with bg lite.

That's looking like a good deal.
Have EON been an OK supplier? Not used them myself before.

I've had no problems, been with them for years. Somebody would have to be considerably cheaper for me to leave them.

I had a quote from EDF yesterday to compare.

 

[S J H]

This is eon to start in April, just signed for 12 months, through love energy.

Day Rate: 27.900 p/kWh​

Standing Charge: 25.000 p/day​

 

[worker]

34.8p \ unit , 40p \ day s.c with bg lite.

What's the night rate that seems very expensive

 

[Fubar]

My current s/c is 36ppd.
New quote is £5 pd.
I thought the standing charge was like a phone line rental and the money went to the network provider for line and meter maintenance etc. Thefore it shouldn't be jumping up in price as much as the actual energy which was affected by the war in Ukraine.
Surely standing charge prices should be fairly uniform within the same region.

The government should be pulling down on this kind of market abuse. 36p a unit is over 3 times the wholesale price.

Are you on a HH meter like me? I was quoted £7.50/day for new contact I was on £1.00 last year. £2700+ just for the sc, it's just ridiculous. Farmer down the road with more cows with a normal meter is on 0.50.

Standard single rate meter. Was talk of me having to go on to a HH meter when I had some new equipment installed but I managed to steer away from it. I really don't know how they are allowed to charge these prices. Surely the energy watchdog should be involved. As you say, £2700 per year before you even flick a switch on. If its not a monopoly I don't know what is.

Signed over a month ago with them, just checked my account, doesn’t show damn all, no DD taken. Looks like they’re a shower of .

Did you manage to get sorted out with YU energy? Not heard anything from them, although they are allegedly supplying me now! thanks

Yes, DD taken at six weeks, think it’s all ok now.

As we are approaching end of our contract we need to see what’s available but are electricity prices going to rise or fall in the next month?

Contract doesn’t renew till March but been quoted 25pp day standing charge and 29.1p unit from EDF to sign up now. Do I take their hand off or hold off? Currently 195pp day (yes that’s right) and 57pp unit from thieving Scottish Power on one year deal , was 33p and 17p on previous deal with SP but at time of renewing couldn’t get any firm to take on new customer

Just renewed with EDF 25.70 p/kwh and 60p / day standing charge 2 year deal.
