π New Energy Rules Alert! π Major changes are happening this month for Octopus, British Gas, Ovo, EDF, and E.on. These changes are great news for customers, as they promise fresh benefits and potential savings. πΈ


Starting in February, if you’ve had a nightmare waiting for a smart meter or faced failed installation appointments, thereβs some good news. Customers will receive automatic Β£40 compensation in certain cases. Claim your compensation if:

– You’re waiting over 6 weeks for a smart meter installation π
– An installation appointment fails due to a supplier issue π§
– You report a smart meter problem, but don’t receive a resolution plan within 5 days π
Richard Neudegg from Uswitch.com says these rules bolster confidence around getting smart meters. With automatic compensation in place, more households are encouraged to install meters and enjoy perks like cheaper tariffs and precise billing. β‘
Remember, smart meters give you real-time energy tracking, which can lead to major savings. π‘ Plus, you could enter savings schemes or get handy app recommendations to shrink your bills even more!
Ofgem’s been on a mission to boost smart meter standards since their review last year. Over 900,000 faulty meters have already been repaired or swapped out. This move not only tightens supplier performance but ensures customers get the service they deserve. π οΈ
Melissa Giordano from Ofgem emphasises the importance: “Every customer should get a working smart meter right away. These rules will hold suppliers accountable and protect consumers.” π€
With over 70% of UK homes already plugged into smart or advanced meters, it’s time to reap the rewards. If you’re not part of the smart meter club yet, this could be your moment to jump on board and start saving! ππ₯
