Did you know that UK households see solar panels pay for themselves 2.5 years faster following Ofgem’s April 2022 price cap rise? Head over to our site to read the full story ☀️ makemyhousegreen.com/green-guides/p…

Gulp... @ofgem are saying that the energy price cap will go up by over £800 in October to £2,800 - that's more than many analysts predicted. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…

Don't forget it's meter reading day! Get your readings done before the end of the day (unless you're with Octopus whose rates go up a day later) If you're a switchd.co.uk member you can add your readings to your dashboard

Prepayment customers will see an increase of £708 from £1,309 to £2,017 per year. Once again, those who find it hardest to pay are being hit with a bigger increase. We're expecting announcements to counteract some of these increases shortly.

Breaking: Ofgem says price cap to increase by £693 from April That is a huge sum for UK households

@sharma2508 @paullewismoney They just had a $600m investment... They may be waiting for something from the outgoing provider before they can complete the transfer. It should happen soon 🤞

@paullewismoney We were with Avro and then got a message that Octopus has taken over our account. Since then, deafening silence. If I were a betting person, I’d put money on Octopus going down next. And what is so frustrating is that we can’t even move from Octopus yet. Bloody shambles.

Which firm is next in this series? And why? EDF Octopus Energy British Gas Ovo Energy

Because we check every member against every deal every day, we are able to switch you the moment a better home energy deal becomes available. No-one else offers whole of market switching. And we won't charge you a penny until you're switched. Join us: switchd.co.uk

Sadly another two energy providers have closed - Pure Planet and Colorado Energy. Remember, if you're affected DON'T PANIC! Take a meter reading and sit back... your supply and any credit you have are safe. More info at switchd.co.uk/energy/guides/…

Customers of failed providers Igloo Energy, Symbio Energy and Enstroga will move to @eon_next - there will be no interruption of supply and any credit with the old provider will transfer to e.on too. Take a meter reading if you haven't already... switchd.co.uk

UK homes could save around £55 a year on heating bills by turning the thermostat down 1° according to @EnergySvgTrust The average set temperature is 21° - what's your thermostat set at?

@philipjamestoy @paullewismoney You can't switch away until your transfer to the new provider is complete. Most comparison sites rely on supplier commissions, so they don't have deals available now. switchd.co.uk is different. We scan the whole market every day. When deals come available, we're there

@paullewismoney How are USwitch & other comparison sites doing? Have you no say in which provider you can go to after a provider goes bankrupt?

My gas and electricity provider just told me that my bill will go up by 50% next month.

@happybrightmoon @MarkDCL They will only help you switch to suppliers who pay them a commission though...

@MarkDCL If only there was a hassle-free way of finding a new energy provider 😉 switchd.co.uk

@bethica1982 It really depends where you are in the switching process I'm afraid. If you're a Switchd member, please feel free to reach out to our support team who can advise you about your particular case (unfortunately, we're not able to advose on cases directly on Twitter at the moment)

@Switchd_UK what happens when are mid switch and your provider gone bust ?

@remoolga @MartinSLewis No - your credit is safe Our help article is here: switchd.co.uk/energy/guides/…

@MartinSLewis I switched to Shell energy from Igloo on 8/9. I took a screenshot on my final Igloo Bill as advised by Martin. Igloo owe me £202. Have I lost my money?
