Bulb Economy7 nightime rate was 50% cheaper than daytime rate not so long ago. Now its less that 25% difference.
Cheers electric car knobbers using my cheap nightime elecy & pushing the price up to charge your virtue signalling toss boxes. Cant afford to run my night storage heaters now. (well I can, but would rather the money was in my banks rather than bulbs)

Energy companies are truly awful at estimating usage, and I think deliberately (or at least knowingly err) under quote so customers end up in debt at any fixed term, so are unable to switch.

You can change suppliers with up to £500 worth of debt I believe

With prices set to shoot up again in April is there any chance of significant reductions later in the year? Don’t know if I should fix on one of the eye watering tariffs to avoid even more pant wetting bills further down the line?

May be worth getting a fix tarif with someone like octopus which doesn't have a fee for terminating early. then if they come down you can change it.

Martin Lewis's latest estimate is a 51% price hike in April. 51%. Eek.

Only on pre payment meters. Otherwise any debt over 28 days old can stop you I think.

There could be a number of factors behind that - I doubt the number of Bulb customers buying electric cars in the last few months is one of them.

Also the gap between day and night rates in itself isn't very meaningful
