What is the tariff comparison rate? Ofgem, the energy regulator, has introduced a new tariff comparison rate (TCR) which it insists all suppliers and comparisons display. The aim of it is to give a single price which allows easy comparison across tariffs. We're not convinced it's of any value as the TCR doesn't factor in regional variations and is based on average usage and seems a little redundant when you have a bespoke comparison.

Further info: GB Energy takes the first direct debit in advance, so it may overlap with your final payment(s) to your current provider. It also has a winter payment plan, so your monthly direct debit will be 33% higher than your estimated monthly payments for the year between October and March, and 33% lower between April and September.

This one-year collective fix deal from British Gas is one of the cheapest deal on the market.
It can save someone with typical use on a big six standard tariff just over £300/yr
It's a fixed deal, meaning you can lock in the cheap rate for a year
It's only available for dual fuel - including Economy 7
If you're already with British Gas (or Sainsbury's Energy), you won't pay exit fees when you switch to this tariff
