Ooooooh the saga and wondering if anybody knows.
Had a landis gyr and trilliant smets1 for an eternity on prepay - time to swap to an ev tariff. To make it simple thought as it hasn’t gone to the DCC a wise move to investigate the BG EV tariff as I have their meter. In my area day rate the same as octopus go, slightly cheaper standing and it’s 0.4p/kwh dearer off peak but you get 5h vs the 4. So far, so good! Authorise the swap - they stick me on standard variable, notice 1 day later so change online, great website says it’s changed.
Smart meter showing 1 rate and prices wrong. Website with current reading only increasing one reading only the other is there now but at 0. 2 weeks of battling with them (turn the IHD off for 2 hours and wait a week kind of muppetry and apparently now it transpires a smets2 is required so booked in for a swap and I really pushed on how will they bill me as I don’t think they have any record of off peak “it will be calculated, wait for meter swap then call in 2 weeks”. I’m assuming they will apply the 33% rule to useage being off peak.
Infuriating but does anybody know if this is correct (that all should be well and a smets2 is required) or am I best to get the meter swapped then cut and run to octopus and lose the extra hour?
