Which energy supplier do I choose?
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2026 10:58 am
I'm in UK my setup is
Inverter fox KH10.5
Battery fox EP12
21 x Aiko 460W panels
EV charger Indra pro gen 2
This was installed in November 2025 by greenscape energy on behalf of my supplier OVO.
I had charge anytime on my account (allows EV charging 24/7) which on installation cost 7p/kWh on December the 1st they doubled the charging cost to 14p.
After solar installation I applied to join battery boost so I can use discounted energy to charge solar battery which on application was told you can't have charge anytime and battery boost.
Email last week thanks for applying but the battery boost is not being continued after 1st Feb 2026.
No cheap solar tariffs are available via OVO,standard unit cost applies to charging solar battery.
All OVO are offering is 14p EV charging albeit 24/7
Is Octopus energy the best bet to switch to?
I'm based in Chelmsford Essex
Suggestions please
