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

That’s incorrect. Flogas unit price will increase with the VAT change. The fixed rate is on the pre-VAT cost

Depending on the wording of the contract, they may be allowed increase the standing charge. You’d need to read it.

Not me anyway !

the new prices are in the thread and that’s what people are signing up to 👍🏻

 what?? anyone else get the email with renewal?

No mention of fixed price

Not much difference in the new Flogas deal vs the Energia AXA deal by the looks of it? Are BWG Flogas people switching or staying put?! I'm on a dual fuel 24hr plan atm

reduced vat rate to be extended.

silly in my opinion but it does mean lower bills for a few more months

There's so many errors it's impossible to determine what rates you're actually signing up for?

E.g. when you click through to the terms and conditions the standing charges are far higher than on the front page.

cowboys activated my smart meter…the 24.9 electricity rate is for smart plan

I just renewed my dual fuel contract yesterday on the basis of a day/night meter. So I got 26.49c day, 13.35c night, €331.33 standing charge.

I actually got a smart meter installed last week, but it's not showing as a smart meter on anybody's system for 30 days.

I hope I can get transferred to those cheaper plans. Even the non-smart plan with a smart meter is cheaper than what I got. (especially the standing charge)

Looks like no standard 24hr electricity rates or plans…only smart plans for 24 hr !!

Can't really tell what's on offer for unactivated smart meters. There's a night rate under the 24hr? So 24.03c day 13.35c night and a much lower standing charge would make it better value than the activated smart plan offerings, but I'm assuming you can't get the night rate without a day/night variant smart meter?

There's so many typos when you click through on each offer it's hard to know what you're signing up for

so what’s your new standing charge?

wait isn’t that too high? If you are on urban rate of course.
