@eonhelp Eon price increases-what it means for prepayment meter Gas customers.

[MARTIN3030]

Although Eon have lowered p/kwh ,unit rates,they have scrapped the Annual Threshold of 2680 kwh in which customers saw unit rates once this was achieved fall from 8.436p/kwh to 3.67p/kwh inc vat.

Under the revised E.on EnergyPlan with prepayment the old 8.436p/kwh is replaced with a sole unit rate of 4.256p/kwh inc vat.

 

However,there is now a daily standing charge of 27.395p per day !

Hi Martin3030,

 

You're right we have replaced primary and secondary unit prices with a daily standing charge and then a unit price for the energy used.

 

There are a couple of the old tariffs that this won't affect, these are no longer for sale.

 

There is quite a lot of info on the website about this, but wasn't sure if I can post links, so here's a bit from it.

 

Many of our customers and other consumer groups told us they would like a simpler pricing structure with a single unit rate. This change means you’ll pay a fixed amount for your connection, plus an amount for the energy you actually use – removing multi-tiered unit rates. So it will be easier to see what your energy bill covers and when all energy suppliers change to this format in the future, it’ll make it easier to compare our tariffs with others'.

Thanks Helena,yes you are right,there can certainly be no confusion,and working out the revised prices should be a breeze for most.

I calculated that the standing charge would add around £100 a year.

Do feel free to post any links that you feel could assist others.

Hi Martin

 

Helena's not here at the moment so thought I'd just follow up and post the link she was talking about yesterday. Here it is.

The standing charge bit is about half way down.

 

Hope this is of interest. Give me a shout if you need any more details as always happy to help.
