    I think it compares fairly well with the other suppliers.

    "Gas prices will rise by 15.4% on November 10 while electricity tariffs will increase by an average of 4.5%, the company said."
  • Does this increase apply to onlinesaver v7 or energy discount v5?

    Customers on the following products will not see their prices change on 10 November 2011:


    • Annual Fix version 1 (Closing on 31 Dec 2011) and Annual Fix version 2
    • Fixed Price 2013, Fixed Price 2014 (withdrawn on 14 Sept 2011) Fixed Price 2015
    • Fixed S@ver version 1 and Fixed S@ver version 2
    • Fix for 2012
    • Online S@ver version 7, Online S@ver version 9, Online S@ver version 10 and Online S@ver version 12
    • Energy S@ver version 2

    That is from the edf FAQ.

    So RIP Fixed Saver 2014.
    I'm amazed it lasted this long.

  • fixed price 2015 isnt on the website yet - interesting


    now , lace ya bets will EDF sort out the amazing customer suppoer in 2011 /2012/2013/2014...... 2199
  • if they can see that far in front my guess prices will drop.
  • I switched to Fixed Price 2014 a month or so ago. Like macman says, surprised it lasted that long.

    I personally think that prices may stabalise for the next 12 months but then the ever increasing demand & increased costs for getting fossil fuels out of the ground will inevitably lead to another range of substantive rises - probably for Winter 2012/13. Gas will obviously be the loser again as Electric can be produced from multiple sources.
