Yes, you probably do, if it's on a separate account and not just a separate meter. Owain
Read the full replyI have a separate supply to my lock-up garage. Previously I had a zero standing charge tariff and paid about £5 per quarter. Now I have been transferred to standard variable rate with the Ofgem price cap, resulting in a 1,000% increase in the cost.
Question - do I get the £400 :-)

Is your garage a "household"?
Well, it's not a business. Is there any other type of account?
But a lockup could be a comecial property.
I think more to the point is whatreason do they give for the change as people on fixed rates continue until the end of that contract. EDF tell me that. If you have a tenant using the garage, not you, they should be getting the bills, if its your own garage, then why is it on a separate meter at all? Brian
It's not though. It is not subject to business rates as the council accepts it is an adjunct to my home (unfortunately not close enough to run a cable).
As I said, it is now on the standard variable rate. Separate meter is because it is two streets away.
PS The reason given was that the previous (zero standing charge) tariff expired and they no longer offer this tariff.
