Nice but I need the export too, and I need a supplier that works with Ripple Energy right now, so I'll be sticking with Octopus - but more competition in the space is always welcome! Subscribed and thanks!
Absolutely - my conclusions too. Once an export option comes about I'll have a look again. As you say, more companies offering better off peak rates should make things more interesting!
Hi Graham - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. If you’ve not already, please do like this video and stay tuned for some more content 🙂
Great by video, I think I am sticking with eon next drive. This video really helped, the 16.5p export works for me, managed to update details to get money transferred into my bank in Sept for export upon request and was a month and a half import cost. Also the 7 hours cheap electric allows me to get up early to do washing and tumble dryer if I forget to set timer the night before and running our EVs is cheap . I do think about Octopus Agile again but means checking rates daily to when best to charge the car, I was on that before and bills were low as long as you monitor rates everyday. ❤
Hi Pete - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Glad you found it useful. Sounds very similar to us. As you say the export with E.On at 16.5p per kWh fixed for 12m is hard to beat. That coupled with the 7 hours of off peak electricity means we can set things before we go to bed or wake early and use things before 7am. The opportunities are endless. I do like the set and forget aspect of it, I definitely don't miss Agile at all apart from occasionally when the prices go negative! 😅 If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂
We use Tomato energy at work on a business tariff. I only see the bills because I need to do carbon footprint work for our business. They seem fine and the price is competitive. They didn’t offer a business export rate when we asked a few months ago but said they were looking at it. We don’t have solar anyway, just looking to do so. We’ve used them for about a year.

Sounds like Ofgem are up to their we meaning but inept attempts to broaden the energy providers in the market... Haven't we been here before? 🤔 Lets hope they're vetting these startups adequately, other we'll all be picking up the tab again in the form of bailouts and even higher standing charges.. 😢
Seriously evaluating the lifestyle tariff as I've solar,a 10 kWh battery and ASHP. Topping up the battery during the day and allowing the ASHP to keep ticking over all day is ideal as the battery is soon exhausted after the overnight charge on Octopus Intelligent Go in winter. The battery in effect extends each off-peak period by an extra hour or two (depending on weather conditions and ASHP running). However, I also have a monthly allocation from Ripple wind farm paid as a discount off Octopus electricity useage which I'd use and the 15p/kWh export which complcates things
Hi Barry - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Yea, it's well worth looking at. Ah interesting dilemma re ripple. Do let me know what you end up doing and share your experience 👍🏽 If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂
It also mentioned on trust pilot that tomato blocked people trying to switch away from them. It seems changing energy provider is fraught with pitfalls. I’ve had both good and bad experiences.
Hi James - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. That's interesting to know - I didn't come across that one. It'll be really interesting to see how those who havae switched over get on over the next 3-6 months... If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂
I had a quick look at Tomato Energy yesterday after seeing them mentioned on another video. As you highlight, no export/SEG payment so this would be a big drawback for me. I was interested in the Tomato Agile tariff as I’m on Octopus Agile but details are very scant, just example daily prices and no price history or way that I could find to see what today’s rates are to compare, and not clear whether there is an API for daily price rates as Octopus have. Without enough information I just couldn’t switch to them.
Yup absolutely - the no export option is the sticking point for me. They're certainly less polished than Octopus but it's probably harsh to compare the two. It'll be interesting to see how they and their new customers go over the winter...
It does make me nervous too. The financials don't work for me anyway, but if they did I would consider switching. It would have to be a decent saving to offset the risk though
Thanks, yes you're right. I did discuss this in my last video about leaving octopus. I've kept my gas on the octopus tracker and just moved my electric 👍🏽
I did exactly what you did what you did in the video and I was quoted £239.50 a month just for electric, I currently pay £75.00 and that is high and will go down, so for me a total waste of time.
Hi - Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. Whoa, that's interesting - how many kWh do you import over the year? Presumably you checked the EV option. If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂
@Gazmaz Yea, I can see why that would be if that is the quote that's coming up. It is odd though as that's pretty similar to my annual usage. All the best, Shan
Yup, that's my main sticking point too. If you’ve not already, please do like this video, stay tuned for some more content and thanks for taking the time to contribute to the discussion on this video 🙂
But surely you make more on Referrals than exporting solar, So maybe you could Take us all on a TRIP, we follow you and you Switch every 30 days to a new supplier,12 different companies in 1 year, that might be a better strategy, Just Focusing on Referrals rather than penny pinching on rates.... Would work for me. Thanks. Might have to have a Day when we all switch simultaneously in case the Referral links expire... Let us know Thanks.
The referrals aren't as common as you think. When they do come, they do help me get a new bit of equipment etc to keep the channel going/improving. The rates do matter as over time those pennys add up
Yeah, Maybe if you keep it suble could up your referals, Still kerping channel looking professional. Scotish power offers 60 pound referals, Getting peopke to do a tiny bit of admin is still not Easy. I understamd it looks a little unorthodox . 😮

Tomato Energy offers versatile product designed to benefit customers. Their support service is top-notch. Highly recommended. ❤️
That's useful to hear your feedback
I totally agree, I've moved to them from Intelligent Octopus GO,, saving loads.
Sounds like Ofgem are up to their we meaning but inept attempts to broaden the energy providers in the market...
Haven't we been here before? 🤔
Lets hope they're vetting these startups adequately, other we'll all be picking up the tab again in the form of bailouts and even higher standing charges.. 😢
People need to understand you don't need an EV for their cheap evening rates
Baffling!!

Solar is £80 per month. Its based on household usage- my quote for upto 7500kwh per year was £160 pm
Thanks for the info, that's useful to know 👍
@@everythinghome just checked:
They own the panels and battery for 10 years.
Under 7000kwh use is £120 pm, 7001-11000 is £160pm
What's the charge above 11,000?
It also mentioned on trust pilot that tomato blocked people trying to switch away from them. It seems changing energy provider is fraught with pitfalls. I’ve had both good and bad experiences.

Thats because they provide sme b2b energy too

Export is coming.
Yup absolutely - the no export option is the sticking point for me. They're certainly less polished than Octopus but it's probably harsh to compare the two. It'll be interesting to see how they and their new customers go over the winter...
If you're on a FIT tariff then could make sense.
Definitely agree with that one!
Not sure I'd be comfortable with a company with a ropey history. I was briefly with Avro energy, glad I switched before they went bust...
It does make me nervous too. The financials don't work for me anyway, but if they did I would consider switching. It would have to be a decent saving to offset the risk though
Tomato energy they have told me they have an export of 7p per kilowatt
Thanks - yes I've come to know that too. I'll pop an update note in the video description and comments - thanks
I switched to win through your referral How do I get the £20 please
Thanks for the supporting the channel. Can you email me at savemecashuk@gmail.com with your name and I can have a look. Thanks, Shan
If Tomato is Electric only shouldnt you be discussing gas options as this might scupper any benefit from switching to Tomato electric tariff?
Thanks, yes you're right. I did discuss this in my last video about leaving octopus. I've kept my gas on the octopus tracker and just moved my electric 👍🏽
Standing charges are an utter rip off
Yup, couldn't agree more!
I did exactly what you did what you did in the video and I was quoted £239.50 a month just for electric, I currently pay £75.00 and that is high and will go down, so for me a total waste of time.

@@everythinghome We only use around 3500 to 3900 and yes I tried all the variants.
@Gazmaz hmm, that doesn't sound right
@@everythinghome tried it again today, made sure all settings were correct, same outcome. Not bothering anymore thanks for replying.
@Gazmaz Yea, I can see why that would be if that is the quote that's coming up. It is odd though as that's pretty similar to my annual usage.
All the best, Shan
Have you looked at cucumber and carrot energy 🥕 🥒
Haha, sounds like very healthy energy!
They have a number of tariffs named after varieties of tomato’s. I grow a few tomato’s myself, so I appreciated the humour.
Now I feel like eating carrots
Hey i sent octopus an email over a week ago and still not heard anythink....
AnythinG ends with a G not a K
Try sending them a message on X (formerly Twitter). I've always found quick helpful replies through there
No export with Tomato otherwise I'd switch.
Yup, that's my main sticking point too.
