Feed In tarrif

[steelman99]

Im presently with Good energy for my feed in tarrif payments , and have been since getting the solar panels , at the start it took good energy around 2 months to pay out after the meter reading date , but this has slowly slipped and is now nearly 3 months from meter reading date before they pay out

Is anyone using a company for their Feed in Tarrif payments that pay out more swiftly that 3 months , as Good Energy just keep trotting out excuses that they are a small company and have to wait til the bigger companys settl up with them through levelisation

Perhaps you " do get what you pay for"

nPower pay within a few days.

EON pay me within 7 days of the meter reading.

EON pay me within 7 days of the meter reading.

Me too, E.ON are very quick They were slow originally but then put in new systems

I don't use them to supply electricity, just for the FIT

looks lik a change to one of the big 6 is in order then

Octopus Energy is not one of the big six.

I use e.on too and they are very quick and efficient at paying, as others have said. They recently installed a battery for us and we get our electricity from them too. I recommend them.

You don't need to have your FIT payments from your actual energy supplier though. My FIT payments come from Scottish Power (who were my supplier when I had the panels installed - albeit not by them). I've switched energy supplier several times since then (currently with Octopus). I've never seen any reason to move the FIT arrangements. Not sure how easy it is to do that?? Does anyone have experience of switching FIT 'suppllier' separately from switching energy supply'?

I think you'll find they pick their words carefully at Octopus. They are not as good in this respect as Ecotricity or Good Energy. See https://www.which.co.uk/news/2019/09/ho ... gy-tariff/ . If you check the % you'll see that GoodEnergy really are good.

By coincidence Good Energy have today (8-June) paid me their FIT payment for the period 01/12/2019 to 01/03/2020. That's about 9-weeks or so after the end of the quarter. That's plenty fast enough and I am quite happy for GoodEnergy to continue as my supplier on that basis.

I think you'll find Octopus Energy are a 100% renewable energy supplier......and you can't get better than 100%. But, this thread isn't about renewables or about Good Energy is it ?

The OP asked which suppliers paid the FIT payments quickly and Octopus Energy is my answer.
