I now do the following. I get a reading every quarter, and ask them to only
take what the bill on the real reading is. I can still be on the EDF Blue
tariff and can quit if I can get it cheaper. . However as you say, they used
to say the price was fixed for two years, but this has dropped to one
year,but still worth having
The only fiddle room they do have is when the new tariff comes in and of
course since we do not know the date exactly except its in June they do have
to estimate the changed units. However so far its been pretty fair.
I am not dual fuel and unfortunately most of the really cheaper deals only
run if you have both gas and Leccy from the same supplier. There must be
zillions of people out there with no gas who otherwise are paying huge
amounts for leccy due to this discrimination.

I have not yet delved into the detail of my bills for the year, to check
the numbers, but my E&G DD has been increased three times now from £48 per
month, to the present £92. My predicted consumption over the years has been
near as matters spot on and its a one year fix, due to end in November.

My supplier has sent me a comparison, which shows the cost will be much
higher for the next year. Might they be increasing my DD, so as to cover
the cost, assuming that I will accept the much more expensive fix
beginning in November? In other words - are they stockpiling my cash, in
anticipation for next year?

It just seems so odd that they based the original DD on what my suggested
consumption was, that my actual consumption is so close to that, yet the
DD has been increased three times in the year..
