On 8th September, I called Eon Next to arrange for us to be put on the Next Flex Tariff starting from the 1st October 2022.
I got a confirmation email from them afterwards with all the tariff details.
It said the Unit Rate would be 27.86p p/kWh and the standing charge would be 48.13p per day.
I've just looked on our Eon Next account and it now shows that the Unit Rate will be 51.57 p/kWh.
Is that a mistake? Why has it gone from 27.86 to 51.57 all of a sudden?
It all changes tomorrow. Your new electricity rate will be around 34p. Have a look at all the recent tariff topics on the forum and all will be revealed.
I'm an Eon Next dual fuel customer with no particular expertise but have some time on my hands that I am using to try and help out a bit.

Wrong since my tariff online now shows 50.09p per kWh when it should be 34p per kWh

The same happened to me which resulted in a complaint to them
The average unit price for dual fuel customers paying by Direct Debit will be limited to 34p/kWh for electricity and 10.3p/kWh for gas, inclusive of VAT, from 1 October. These unit prices have been passed from the government to us to ensure that they are used to calculate bills.
So it isn't at all clear why the 80% price hike has been applied to SVT accounts and not the capped price. Mine was increased overnight last night, so if one increase can be processed, its hard to understand why it couldn't be the right one. I hope your optimism turns out to be well-placed!

I suspect @Emily that they've had to apply the OFGEM rates first and then change them to the EPG from today, for reasons best known to themselves. That's my guess but the total lack of information from eon-next is leaving us all guessing.
Received an email Tuesday with the wonderful news that my tariff for electricity was going from 29.48p to 35.31p, and for gas from 7.31p to 10.29p as of 1 October. Standing charge (still a massive p-take) from 41.66p to 42.67p and 27.21 to 28.28p respectively. Not great, not terrible, we all knew it was coming. Still paying too much for power compared to anywhere else in the world, but what can you do, right?
I logged onto the website today, 1 October, to check my outstanding balance (I cancelled my debit ages ago so that they couldn't steal money from me anymore), scrolled down and saw my actual rates from 1 October were 53.16p for electricity and 14.72p for gas, almost DOUBLE the previous rate! Glad I'm not the only one being scammed, so they can't hide it for long.
Something random ran through my head while I was typing this: the government for some stupid reason is paying the energy discount directly to the suppliers instead of us. So, what if they've pushed their prices up intentionally so that they don't have to pass the discounts onto us? Eg: if your usage worked out to £10, and the government gave a £5 discount, e.On then pushes the price up so your usage now costs $15, so when they apply the discount, they still get all their money. Really wouldn't put it past them...
your email rates are correct. The online data is being updated now and will reflect the correct rates when it’s up again. E.On Next have made a pigs breakfast of this, in fact some pigs might have made a better job of it.
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
