Tonight is a good night to be using electricity if you are on Octopus Agile
tariff; there are quite a few hours where they are paying consumers to use
power. I’ll be using an electric heater to reduce gas heating, similarly,
the immersion heater will save some gas; the washing machine and tumble
dryer will be in use and the Tesla Powerwall will be charged up overnight
as there isn’t a great deal of solar energy lately!

Well, we were taken over by them from Bulb and I think that just
finalised.It is send the statement and pay day today but it didn't
come, although I sent readings on Monday. I could leave my computer
on all night? Not sure what else...

The ‘special rates’ apply to the Agile Tariff, is this the one you are on?

We're 'with' Octopus and do pay via DD.

When the Energy Bills Support Scheme came in, they recommended to us a
monthly payment of (rough figures 'cos ICBA to look them up) £240 minus
the £67 Gov't payment - so £170ish net.

Later, they emailed to say they would shortly be taking payment... of
not the £170 I was expecting, but the whole £240.
I replied, pointing out that this was NOT what they said they were going
to do, and they did eventually correct it.
However, by that time they had already taken the December payment at £240.
There must be plenty of households where an unexpected loss of £67, at a
particularly expensive time of the year, might cause problems.

Still no word with a statement from Bulb, or will it now come from
Octopus.But I sent the readings to bulb. Not been asked by Octopus,
who haven't communicated with me at all. Bulb just said we are with
them and need do nothing. I like to know how much we owe each month
and to pay asap.

I am neither with Octopus nor Bulb and neither do I have a smart meter
nor the possibility of being paid for using electricity at particular
times but neither do I hand over unexpectedly large amounts of money
monthly for the energy fat cats to become even fatter. I pay monthly
only for the energy I use and if I don't submit a reading they make an
estimate.

I'm on the standard variable rate tariff which at the moment is locked
by the price cap. Unless you gain a particular advantage from selling
back your energy or being paid to use energy at particular times or
unless you are somehow locked into a spectacularly cheap historic deal
or would pay an eye-watering penalty to get out of your present
arrangement then I'd strongly recommend doing the same and only pay
for what you use.

It sounds as if you're in the same limbo I'm in, being transferred from
Bulb to Octopus. The most recent email I had, which announced that the
takeover had gone ahead, said that we would be notified when our data
was transferred to the Octopus systems, sometime in the next few months.
Until then, you should carry on sending any readings to Bulb and any
billing will also be done by them.

Probably the most relevant paragraph from their email was

"We'll let you know when your account is moving across to Octopus
systems, and we'll share your new account details and help you get set
up. Until then, you'll still be able to use your Bulb account and app,
just as you have up to now."

Thank you, yes, I got a statement based on the readings I sent but I
had one digit wrong so sent it again with a photo and asked for a
revised statement. And they said send them readings and pay them for
now.

As I understand it, two ‘wise boys’ extracted a vast sum of money from the

Apologies for not reading through the thread first: my sort of advice
really isn't of much use when your energy company doesn't know whether
it's coming or going. Hopefully Bulb and Octopus will sort themselves
out eventually.

I think that Octopus was ready to embrace Bulb customers but then, the
gummint stepped in, put a monkey wrench in the mechanism and caused further
complications and delays.
