florence kat   11 #1 Posted November 1, 2021 As far as I my concerned, my gas supplier is British Gas and my electricity supplier is npower. Last week I got three pages of letter from British Gas to tell me that they "need a meter reading so we can set up your account accurately before we start supplying your electricity on 13th October 2021."  Having looked up npower, I find they are now part of E.ON.  So what is happening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

And everyone's power comes via the same pipes/cables, no matter from which retailer!

Mister M   1,625 #3 Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Hi Florence I was with npower, then about 6 months ago, they wrote to me saying that they're tranferring me over to EON, no explanation or nothing. I sent them my meter reading - They sent me a bill & I nearly hit the roof. Good luck Edited November 1, 2021 by Mister M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The lowest tarriff at the moment is the standard variable rate which requires no smart meter  In any case I really dont understand peoples aversion to having them. They dont fry your brain, you know.
