Is that Octopus? (I'm guessing from the night rate as I don't think bulb offered that?)

I had the same email, and I’m sure it said somewhere that Octopus and Bulb would have the same rates.

Yes, had that Bulb mail today.

The increased standing charge, with energy prices falling is a funny thing.

Standing charges have little to do with energy prices.

Correct all about claw back of costs from failed energy companies biggrin

Day rate and night rate are the same because I still have an E7 meter (dropping E7 saved me £200 a year)

I understand that, I also am aware they increased them to cover the costs of bailing out failed energy suppliers, but to raise them again now, albeit a small amount, I find strange. Giving in one hand by reducing energy charge, taking on the other by raising the standing charge, seems pointless.

Oh wow, the night rate has eluded me then, thanks for the insight.
