Re: The energy crisis
What date in the month is the government subsidy credited to your electricity bill?
I have a bill pending but I don't want to fully pay it if there's going to be a credit to the account shortly after. I'd rather that money stayed in my pocket.

I am on a smart meter and my DD comes out on the first of every month with a bill being generated a week later on the 7th of each month.
You can edit the amount and date of your DD payments which may alter the date your bill is produced but I haven't needed to alter the dates so I'm not sure what would actually happen.

my DD is also on the 1st so I'll get my bill the same as you I guess.

Just checked my Octopus Balence History and the credits have been added to my account one either the the last or first day of the month. So Februrary's was on the 28th the same as Snoopz

Re: The energy crisis
Thanks for looking Jo and SnoopZ. I'll log into the supplier and see if the credit is there.
No point in giving them more money than I need to.

Looks like the the Govt have realised the proverbial will hit the fan in April, and keep subsidising bills for a few more months anyway

Won't cost them as much any longer as wholesale prices have gone down.

Re: The energy crisis
Indeed, I was going to post the same link.
They are probably hoping the actual cap will come down again in July.

Re: The energy crisis
Martin Lewis posted about it earlier. He says suppliers are expecting it too also but it is not definite yet. If things continue the next price cap July should be lower anyway. Global warming actually helping

It felt inevitable, when a consumer champion like Martin goes public and then gets 100+ entities to back him, it would have been too much political damage to ignore him, social media has loads clipping his video explaining how the government will be saving money from the ofgem cap going down, so word was spreading.
My current gas tracker deal and agile deal run out in the summer, so will be interesting where things are then.

Re: The energy crisis
Two coal stations had to be fired up today, a third was put on standby.

Re: The energy crisis
Thing is, like anything of this type, is costs more, wastes more fuel, and puts more into the atmosphere firing these up and then shutting them down, rather than just keeping them running.

Still not received my monthly usage bill from Octopus so dropped them an email.
Edit - their reply which still doesn't help me as I've submitted atleast 2 meter readings in the last month and all its done is said how much gas and electric used in £s and I still don't have a breakdown of units used etc, is this normal?
My last Meter reading was Feb 22nd so I guess I should take another reading on March 22nd to get the amount used and do the maths for the units used myself from month to month?

Thanks for getting in touch!
Billing is a little different at Octopus.
We'll produce a bill whenever you hand in a meter reading which gives you full control of when you receive your bills.
Once you've added a reading, you'll receive a reminder 28 days later to add a new reading.
If you'd like a bill produced now please upload a reading into your Octopus account.
