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

Yeah think 24 hour electricity rate was showing as 30.45c and it says below all prices are inc vat. Assume that means unit rate too.

it is meant to be applied in december but i am sure last time it hit people at different times

Last year it was applied on the first working day of the applicable month by BGE. Previously with Aurtricity they pulled a fast one on some customers and waited until the vat rate fell to apply the credit doing customers out of a few euros.

If the bill is already made up you won't get the credit they'll request the billed amount from your bank. The credit will apply to the next cycle.

Nah, suppliers have locked in their gas prices for the winter. I'd be stunned if prices went up.

Prices are expected to fall further in 2024 but that's subject to a normal winter and nothing abnormal happening.

We're SSE able to pocket the additional €7.93?

I'm struggling to see how you are out of pocket. You got 176.21 off your pre VAT bill like everyone else.

You said they 'did a few customers out of a few euro' by 'pulling a fast one' (tenses changed but context the same).

They didn't pull a fast one on you or any individual. You got the correct amount taken off your bill. You got the same as me and everyone else.

For SSE pulling a fast one on the government (in no way on you), i very much doubt they gained anything from it. It's likely they didn't receive €200 from the government, they received €176. Either way, it's speculation and the government are not stupid enough to hand over money like that.

Either way, the correct amount was taken off your bill. You got the exact same benefit as everyone else.

They must have a very good pr agency and Charlie Weston simply is too lazy to check facts.

The rates are ok and very similar to EI and SSE, but with yuno you pay in advance.

Yuno shout about their discounted rates and compare them to the highest possible standard rates in the market. They very much fail to mention, unless you read the small print, that after 12 months you move to their far more expensive standard rates. So to have a fair comparison you need to compare all generally available discounted plans against each other.

Their rates are ok, but remember they are temporary discount rates and you have to wrangle to change in 12 months to keep the lower rate (as you do with others). But don't believe the marketing hype that they are substantially cheaper. There's a tenner in the difference over the year v EI and about €20 over the whole year v SSE. Not worth it for the hassle of prepayment and overly managing the account

Charlie Weston was just on the radio telling everyone that yuno will save people 3-400 euro and the other companies will have to fall into line

it’s like a paid advert for yuno

I have been with Bordgais for my Gas and had 16% discount. Today I called them and got 25% discount (Black Friday offer) for next one year. I hope this will help a few.

There is a fair usage cap on this plan which is 100kWh per month which translates to 30 Euro a month.

Is there some capping with Electric Ireland weekender plan?
