Cheers for the positive outlook. I dont mind innovation but not if its at the cost of the "basics". Seemingly it isnt.
I can only go by what I've had..since I've been with them (I had a smet2 before I went to them) they proved it could read 30 min readings and I went straight onto a beta tariff for the car
They know when I use electric so if in the cheap slot I pay one rate and the other the day (a smarter eco 7 really)
But their agile tariff is live day by day based on wholesale costs
Before all this mess it was tempting to go onto it
During the peak times you would pay expensive to encourage to not use but overnight sometimes you were paid 4p a unit to use .. so you would be paid to fill your car or do your washing (or now fill my battery)
They have a gas tracker that's capped , not sure of the cap price ATM but on days like this I think people are paying like 4p a unit again because wholesale is cheap so their showers and cooking is low cost and when they are expensive they are protected by their cap which they agreed to
Last winter they did the big turn down, loads of tips to save energy, challenges to use less electric during 2 hour periods and if you completed them you got rewarded (20p here and there) but got you thinking about energy waste
If you used less gas then the previous year you were rewarded
I think I ended up with £20 which I was given choice to donate to people who couldn't afford their energy bills
To me I thought this is so much better than the usual
