    Better yet, pre-pay for your energy at the current lower price by inflating your current meter reading.

    Well yeah, if you don’t submit meter readings then the supplier effectively guesses how much you’re using.

      It also depends when you submit them though, if you only submit them in 2 months they can’t tell how much was before and after the change, so will assume it is all after. This is even if they aren’t estimating your readings.
