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

I wonder how many people will be rushing into jumping ship

Just received these rates for 18 month BWG contract

Non Smart Meter

Gas 7.9

Elec 24.03

Smart Meter Enabled

Gas 7.9

Elec 25.94 Day 12.79 night

Rates above include VAT

night is 11pm to 8am is what the representative said… I didn't ask around usage.

Better call and ask them to be safe?

"based on a 24hr urban meter"

you're rural I take it?

aha! perhaps they should give the DG2 cost aswell

Just rolls over automatically they said. You just need to confirm renewal over the phone if you want to go ahead.

I'm still undecided. As I have solar, Flogas FIT payment is 18.5c versus Energia's 20c. Although fixed for 18 months might just sway it for me.

Just switched from Flogas BWG to the Flogas renewal gas deal on bonkers.ie, and the Energia / AXA deal for electricity. My electricity contract expires today, and I got email confirmation from them that I can switch without penalty today. If they try to levy a fee I will reclaim the direct debit until they correct the bill.

If Flogas BWG make an attractive renewal option to me I could use the 14-day cooling off period. But at this stage, based on Flogas's failure to honour their committment to send details of their renewal offer, it would want to be a material improvement on the other options.

I installed solar panels last month, and got a smart meter installed. So far I have clocked up about 230kWh in exported electricity on the new smart meter. There was nowhere to record this when I switched to Energia; anyone know who will give me the credit for this (Flogas or Energia)?

Just a warning to 'BWG staff' to double check the end date of your contract before switching, AFAIK the vast majority of them end at 23:59 tonight 31/03 regardless of when you signed up, so if you switch sooner you may be leaving yourself open to the termination fee.

(I know it's been posted here about being extended until mid April but that won't effect the 31/03 date unless they've notified you in writing about it, which I don't think they've done with anyone, only people who ring them up so far it seems.)

I sorted my BWG Flogas renewal by phone, no issues for the new Bwg rate of

26.49 day incl vat

13.35 night

same 422 rural standing charge

No problem doing today, no penalty on existing contract expiring also today.

Covered now until 30sep26

Did either of you, or anyone else, get this confirmed via email or in writing?

Have you read the thread today?

No spent ages on hold and gave up. Waiting now to see if a link comes out from flogas, seems unlikely though.
