So what happens now ?
Do i assume our cheap tariff now stops .
If so will any electric used from today be charged at a flat rate ( or tariff we are moved onto) of whichever supplier we are moved to?? so i might as well charge my car during the day and not in the cheap nightly time.

Apparently not, read a post this morning that you will still have the cheaper rate till Ofgem find you another supplier.
It was on FB I saw it so take of that what you will.

so my thinking is around 21 kWh out of the MG and the balance from a battery pack in the boot.

sounds like a good plan... like "meals on wheels" for your power

I guess, technically, Farouk was right... Tomato wasn't going anywhere!

Definition... "To go anywhere" can have a literal meaning of traveling to any place, or a figurative one of making progress or succeeding. In its negative form, "not going anywhere," it can mean a lack of physical progress, a failure to achieve a goal, or a career that isn't advancing.

Sums it up, really.

You will go through the OFGEM supplier of last resort process and will probably be charged at whatever "special" tariff the new supplier moves you to as part of the SOLR process

My wife had a text too. Possibly as I may have used her number for my mum'S TE accout. But I moved her back to Octopus last month?

We haven't had notification yet, maybe it's because we have a switch in progress to Smartest, they confirmed we will switch on Friday 14th so I guess it's wait and see time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed we don't end up with the worst energy supplier in the land British Gas.

My switch happened in October, I still got a text today.

Maybe business customers are a little later down the pile? who knows, I'll keep fingers crossed though. Have I mentioned I cant stand British Gas ?

Yep me too, glad I jumped now. BG are a despicable company. Would rather have no electric then go with them.

Not only business customers!

I'm yet to receive any notification, other than TE told me today that I have failed to pay my (estimated) bill for October. Included in the email was a copy of that bill, which clearly states it covers the period September 1st to September 30th, which I have paid!

Ofgen say as soon as you are contacted by the SOLR you can look for your own provider. Tomato bill was paid this morning, application to Eon Next Drive made soon after.
