So I have an offer from our dual fuel energy provider to have a fix for 12 months - so should we fix or stay on a variable rate?
Just wondering what the collectives thoughts are
Thanks

My general thinking on anything fixed is they they only offer such deals if they expect prices to fall lower than the offered rate. Having said that, we secured a 3 year fixed rate just before prices shit through the roof. The benefit of having an insomniac wife is she spends many hours in the middle of the night reading up on where things might goSo I have an offer from our dual fuel energy provider to have a fix for 12 months - so should we fix or stay on a variable rate?

I would certainly recommend having a look at the Martin Lewis website.
Sounds sensibleI watched the Martin Lewis Money Show this week and his view is that it probably isn't worth it in most cases, unless you need certainty about your bills.
7.5p kWh tells me it's a good ideaNot too keen to move suppliers as we still have a dumb meter

Off peak rate for charging batteriesnot what octopus are quoting me for dumb meter or smart meter.
Off peak rate for charging batteries
Come on Murdoch, get a grip, beat the systemNo batteries
7.5p is on Intelligent which is based on a car charging rate but of course I get my whole supply at that, charge the batteries and run all day!As far as I can make out that 7.5kWh rate is only available as a car charging rate?
It is not a charger, wall box, you were right first time. You could possibly rent out your WALLBOX.Playing devils advocate here.
So what's stopping you installing an Octopus approved EV wallbox (charger) for lets say £500 even though you don't own an EV to then make full use of the Octopus 7.5p rate to charge your house batteries like John does, in order to run the house all day.
You could even rent out your unused charger to EV's at premium day rates
Even if you only took 6kWh a night at 7.5p rate instead of the Flux night rate, your outlay (roi) is less than 2yrs. In practice it would work out considerably less than that.
Well to be really pedantic, and you do deserve it, its really electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).It is not a charger, wall box, you were right first time. You could possibly rent out your WALLBOX.
