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

I understand where you are coming from but the thing with these utility companies, it is a game of sort for them. As long as you prepare your mindset from the perspective that it is purely transactional and leave out the emotion, you'll be fine. At the end of the day, we all just want the best value. If they are now offering you the best rates for your situation (and end up costing them more money to retain you than if they had just given to you in the first place), I'd say take it as a win.

You won't have much suppliers left if you keep ruling them out permanently each time this happens (which it will eventually with the one you are with)

that makes no sense to me, it’s all a game of cat and mouse and threatening to leave and them coming back to retain you is all part of the game, once you get a better price that’s the bottom line

Standing charge on that plan is €236.62

Energia FIT is 20c/kwh and is paid on each bill.

You might want to get that in writing, as it directly contradicts what they said in their contractually obligated end-of-contract notice sent out last month, where they notified everyone of their post-contract reversion to Flogas' standard rates - a 29% increase to 10.49 c/kWh, if you're on the 8.13c/kWh tariff btw.

Even though they didn't actually bother to include the actual standard rates themselves (at least not on the one I received), just an increased EAB amount (from €1166.38 to €1508.59); which I thought was particularly underhanded, considering the whole point of that letter was supposedly to inform people of the actual tariff they'll be paying once the contract ends, but then not even including the specific pertinent information in the letter. What a joke!

Tbh, I don't for a minute believe they're sending out any such mails or we'd already have them. We should have had them two weeks ago, in reality, if they were ever actually coming.

Who doesn't send a new contract offer for existing customers out until the previous contract lapses, in a market where the only real value to be gained is by moving for discounted rates?

It makes absolutely no sense.

No they did not…may be on Monday😉

I had an interesting phone call out of the blue from Greyhound now getting into the market with a joint supplier to bring some deals for their clients and will be getting a letter next week.

Currently on the BWG deal and have been watching the thread with interest!

Currently its looking like the AXA deal is the way to go alright, according to Energypal it would be even cheaper for me to go on the smart tariff but Im still nervous of that step, so I think I'll be moving Tuesday like the rest of us BWG refugees!!😂

Do I have to be an AXA customer to avail of the AXA/Energia deal please? (Smart Meter, currently on day/night plan - open to go Smart if it's better)

Did you ever get a definitive answer to the day/night question please? (I don't dare to submit my MRPN blindly and it won't tell me more without that)

I do have a Smart Meter, but it's freshly installed and I'm still on a day/night plan.

I'm most likely to go with the FloGas loyalty - unless the Axa deal is cheaper.

…I also wonder about the FIT rate. I would think it's the standard Energia FIT rate..?..

The day after your contract expires to avoid any chance at all of being charged an exit fee.

Why do people say that?

Had a smart meter installed about a month ago - What the situation with smart meters and clocks moving forward - I assume this is accounted for in smart plans?

I just switched to that today, I think it's still the cheapest possible combination out there, thanks again!

I was just on the phone with Flogas. Apparently, they have new fixed rates for current BWG customers. 18 month contract (until 30/09/26) 24.03c electricity and 7.9c gas (including VAT). Would this be better in the long run than Energia's 38% discount at 23.61c?
