Hmmm. How much is your electricity tariff now ?.


17.81p/kWh. S/C is 27.5p/d. Will rise to 19.84 and 28.64 on 1 April,
which is why I'm looking at a fixed tariff now.


So am I. EDF sent me an email stating that prices would be
going up in april and it is all Ofgems 'fault'.

I am seriously considering Octopus Agile because I can easily
shift usage away from 16:00 to 19:00, but needs a dreaded
smart meter.


I don't have one either, but I would consider one and DD *IF* the
supplier would guarantee that the payment, whether monthly or quarterly,
would be based on actual usage and not on assumed usage. Heating here is
by gas, although the logburner helps in winter. I reckon I've got enough
logs and some solid fuel to last another 5 years for "average" winters.
It'll probably be banned after that as environmentally unfriendly!
