Panorama - The Smart Meter mess

[Mister Banks]

We live in a four storey Victorian house and pay less than £1783

It sounds like you’ve been ripped off in the past.

I don’t understand your point or why you’re making it. My post was demonstrating that my smart meter tariff has saved me money. I don’t care what you pay, I only care what I pay. You don’t even know what my energy consumption is.

The issues were not SM/analogue meter specific. In fact the more contentious issue of entering homes and changing the analogue meters to pre-pay, was what fuelled the scandal.

Next....

Nope. That is not what the letter to suppliers said. Next..

If I told you the author of the article was a respected, award winning, Cambridge educated economics journalist, with 20+ years of high end media experience, would it make a difference?

Or you can look at the offgem website. It’s all there. No spin needed. I think the real reason you won’t quote your source is because the rest of it doesn’t back up your argument.

In fact so far nothing has backed up your argument.

That's a much easier question to answer.

I am with Octopus Energy and have been on their tracker tariff over the past 12 months. My total energy cost for the last 12 month period has been £1783, for the previous 12 months I was on the standard cap tariff the total energy bill was £2865.

But you are not comparing apples with apples. The cost of lecky has changed a lot .

Our dual fuel DD dropped too.

Electricity prices have changed with the price cap but not by a lot. The unit price i have been paying has been well below the price cap apart from one day recently. Have a look at the graph in post #158 which shows the price cap versus the tracker tariff.

How is comparing what you used over a year, and what you actually paid - versus what you would have had to have paid at CAP price, comparing apples to pears?

As did everyone's drop, but the point you seem oblivious of, is that on this tariff (Tracker), we are both making a fairly considerable saving. I've posted my graph, showing what I am saving, what I am paying each day for each fuel, along with the CAP price, the price which everyone pays, on a dumb meter. You can only get these deals with a smart meter.

You’ve clearly paid too much previously.

Well done for paying less.

How much energy have I been using? Unless you know that you can't make any comment on whether I paid too much or not. I think I will leave it there.
