Another way to try get everyone to have a smart meter. They’ve already said the goal is surge pricing so you’ll eventually be charged more for using electricity at peak times!

The difference is they can change it with a software tick box, rather than requiring a court order.
To change your method of payment on an existing meter in safe condition they have no right of entry without a court order, my mother had hers returned to a credit meter and substantial compensation paid when hers was changed "in error". |

I've spent some time cutting back (granted we've been in Florida for 2 weeks but my best friend and family stayed in our house while we were gone and she is cutting back too so was careful (even though I told her not to worry!) . I have cut back alot on the gas. Before now I used hot water very freely but it's gone from £40 in June to £9 in August! Electric was £100 ish in July and now £70 for August (we've changed washing machine to 30 degree express wash and I'm only using the dishwasher on my 3 work days a week and hand washing dishes the rest of the time). I've also switched certain appliances off at the plug. I know it will still go up again from October and the heating will be on but going to try and make use of our woodburner in the evening. Nice to see that some small changes seem to be making a difference

I’ve just looked at my latest bill online with OVO (fixed until sept 2023) I’m starting to take a lot more notice of these things. My bill for the month for gas and electric was £45:01, gas used £2:18, standing charge for the gas £7:36, electric used £27:06, standing charge £6:80. Whichever way we turn, energy, food, fuel, we lose.
