Switching electric/gas providers (see first post for links)

I have renewed my contract on the new offer that I got this evening and have received email confirming that new price applies at end of contract and 14 day cooling off period applies, hope this helps

i want @zaf5 39% 😂

Oh thanks for this, also getting 44% off both with BG.

I wonder how it makes sense for BG to offer such a big discount to retain existing customer while offering low discounts to switchers.

But mostly I’m just annoyed that they aren’t offering me the same deal.

As a matter of interest whats the max sustained rate you can charge at with a domestic connection? Would charging an EV and solar batteries and running household appliances simultaneously bring you close to max rate?

For me Im assuming having to run a GSHP in addition to above would certainly push me over max limit which is why reluctantly Im not in a position (as well as not yet having a smart meter) to consider the Pinenergy offer.

I did ask them earlier for 35% discount in recognition of my 11 months loyalty.

Probably but when I was 6 weeks out from contract expiring I was offered 10% off both gas and electricity.not until last week when one week away from it been finished was I offered the bigger discounts.The deals should show on your online account

I want 44

How close were you to end of contract on the previous deal?

At the moment BG are offering me 38% off gas and electricity, but I have about 20 days left to run on current deal.

I checked it last week and it was way smaller, like 16%.

Should I just jump on this and be happy??

On a smart meter plan here..one of those "switched" by EI without consent..

Anyway got a call last week from BG retention team. Offered 15% but when I said I was looking elsewhere she asked who. When I mentioned Flogas she just replied"Ah, Flogas...call us back next week (near contract end) and we might be able to offer you something better".

Logged on this evening and offered 32% on smart plan. Rates above are not the best but ok for Smart plan and at least I won't be paying more and the rates might(?!) drop over the next 12 MTHS.

Could be worse😏

Are those prices including Vat? If so that's a great electricity rate.

Its not very clear from the confirmation email

I got 44/44 too on BG this evening so grabbed it. If rates go down, we'll benefit. I'm 11 days to end of contract.

Gas 8.18c, elec 26.99, incl VAT.

Just don't switch anything on after 11pm...😁
