Were you/are you on a fixed tariff (with EPG reductions applied) such as Next Online v18 fix rather than Next Flex?

Yes, v19. April onward is still Next Flex.
On the plus side at least they have worked out my DD was far too much, I am over £1k in credit, so my DD is now approx 1/5 of what I have been paying! -

Not quite. You should get 10 days notice if your DD is increasing so your next payment should not go up. That doesn't mean your energy charges aren't changing though, just that your current DD and account balance is currently sufficient to cover the projected charges for the remainder of your contract. That's my take anyway.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. -

Thanks for your reply. I sort of thought that. It would be really helpful to know what the changes are to the energy charges. Thanks again. 👍 -

I know my SC is going up by a fair chunk, but I hear my unit prices are a little cheaper, but no idea exact figures in either case. Why standing charges are increasing is a mystery to me. No-one has gone bust since Oct21 so the SOLR premium should be completely unnecessary now.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -

I've seen the figures out there and have carried out the calculations using them. It would really be great if we could have the actuals. I quite agree with you about the SC increasing. It baffles me! -

General inflation, increased investment, bad customer debts and the cost of the warm home discount will be factors in the increase in standing charges. What is interesting is that gas standing charges are the same everywhere, but electricity standing charges are region specific with different rates of change. that is illogical, but it’s just the way things have evolved.
That though isn’t a good reason why it has to continue.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. -

Well lo and behold, my price change notification arrived this evening, but makes for very confusing reading indeed. The SC has gone up by 4.658p a day, or £17 a year, and my unit rate has come down by 0.684p a unit. With a rolling average consumption of 8.11kWh per day, that's a reduction of 5.5p a day on my electricity costs. So, total cost per day difference is 0.88p a day in my favour.
Multiply that by 365 days equates to a reduced cost of £3.21 a year....and yet they think my saving will be over £8.

Thanks for the update. I shall look forward to receiving my email but as yet nothing has arrived. Your figures are sort of what I expected.@WizzyWigg
