Jake Berry just says get a better job or use less energy. Stop whining plebs.

Each day I think I can't hate them more and then read something like this.

I don't think so - I think they still average out your consumption over the year, so that you overpay during the summer, and underpay in winter.So after a nightmare years ago I've never paid by direct debit. But I see even Octopus offer a discount for them, which they didn't when we signed up.
If you have a smart meter is done so it takes the exact amount you've used rather then what they think they should?
Darn. I've been trying to avoid making food even more appealingFrom Moneysavingexpert e-mail
That's the one I was given I think, good basic air fryer for £35
I seem to have dropped the background power consumption down to around 180w already simply by switching the TV, sound bar and Blu Ray player off at the socket along with an old uplighter with a built in transformer.I've got the smartpower meter down from the loft and set up.
It's suggesting a daytime background power consumption of around 200w. That's with the usual suspects running - PC, server, router and Sonos along with the usual things on standby.
I think I'll look more closely at the weekend to see what's actually drawing the most just in case I've left something running I don't actually need.

Eta: good for one person, perhaps a bit small for two.

Even better - I just try to cram too much into it for fish & chipsThat's the one I got, it's fine for two TBH, probably even for three, depending on what you're cooking.
Depends if you are paying by standard monthly DD, which is averaged out based on the use reported by the smart meter, or a variable DD paying the actual billed amount each month.
Same here (ovo but moved from sse).So SSE are paying me the £66 tomorrow and not just knocking off my bill?
Seems strange

It seems they wait until DD confirmed as paid and then refund you the £66 to your bank. I suspect it's to discourage people from cancelling their DD.
That's not the reason, because if you don't pay by DD it's credited to your account.
The reason I've seen mentioned is it saves keep changing the DD amount and buggering up how the average across 12 months is calculated.
Ok sorry i missed that post.As I posted yesterday -
Bearing in mind the new price guarantee is for 2 years, but nothing has been said about if the £400 grant will be paid next winter, so that makes sense.
I made a cottage pie Monday, I had gone into my
£5 emergency electric at 2 pm that day, by 10 pm
the meter had £1.88 I'm sure the oven is the main
culprit, I also have to have the fan on 24/7 I can't sleep
without it on so it's not looking good for me.
Me too. But it's also been credited to my bill online. Slightly confused.I’ve had my £66 credited to my energy account. Woo hoo! Might boil a kettle.

After checking online yesterday ovo said i could reduce my DD from £273 to £140 AND i get the £66 refund as well
I was £300 in credit. It said if i reduced to £140 i should be about £10 in credit in 12 months.I assume you have a decent credit?
Sorry, don’t understand. If it’s been credited on your online bill that means it’s been taken away from the amount due doesn’t it?Me too. But it's also been credited to my bill online. Slightly confused.

Oh, right. I see. Actually, no I don’t. What?I read it was being credited to the bank account, but also credited to the bill.
I've not been particularly frugal with my leccy historically (but this may change!). Bulb estimates my daily average will be 7.8kwh but last month I averaged 5.5kwh without really trying.That cottage pie sounds expensive ... I use approx 0.6 kwh per day cooking for one from scratch - so 18p - which includes baking a small loaf of bread each week.
My biggest outgoings are fridge and PC - both at 2kwh - or 68p each per day. The PC acts as heating in winter and I will sacrifice the fridge at some point.
If I bathed in hot water once a week as I used to when I worked, that would add 1 kwh or 34p per day (I'm pencilling in once a month or 9p per day)
So my total daily usage is currently £1.95 including SC and VAT
My target is to at least halve my average over 12 months to 5.5kwh - with my current average of 4.3kwh per day that leaves me 438kwh to use for heating over 4 winter months.- giving me 3.65 kwh per day or £1.93..
