Today I decided before winter to evaluate my current gas energy supplier as it is now coming up to winter and our gas usage increases as the days get shorter and the temperatures get lower.
My choice of supplier was Octopus Energy for a few reasons. Reduced cost is a big factor in my move but also smart meter upgrade to a single unit and a single bill were factors.
The below is not a duel fuel discounted plan as I am on Octopus GO for my Tesla so I have just a regular gas tariff at a fixed rate for the next 12 months.
Overall I am set to save £138.13 over the next 12 months and I have a saving of around 11% vs my old energy supplier. Please see the information below on how I calculate my savings. If you choose to evaluate your supplier your savings will vary region to region and usage amounts too.
