Atlantic, is it the cheapest?
I was advised by MSE member Masonic, that Atlantic raised their prices in January. Will they be increasing in 5 months time? Are we better leaving Powergen and going for one which increased their price more recently? I notice that others in the group ( Scottish and Southern Energy , Southern Electric, SWALEC and Scottish…

EDF Fixed Price 2010 Dual Fuel
I'm currently with Powergen on their EnergyOnline pre June 2006 tariff. I read the news that their rates will increase and, having rung them, the rates will increase for me on 6/9/2006.

The california experience
Doesn't all this seem to be reminiscent of the experience in California a couple of years back - rocketing gas and electricity prices, power cuts (cc London July 2006). It turned out that the power suppliers - importing power from outside California - were deliberately restricting supplies in order to force up prices.…

WARNING! EDF Energy Customers
This is an email I have just received from a user about EDF's recent price rises which i thought you may find interesting: I've just had two letters stating that EDF have raised their prices as of 31/7/2006 yet the letters were dated August 2006.

It sounds to me like another "Little Earner" for the suppliers.
Does anyone know the reason for the two rates charged monthly by Electricity suppliers? Rate 1: for the first 225 units is charged at nearly 15p per unit. Rate 2: charge is nearly 10p per unit thereafter. Customer services say that rate 1 is charged based on a national average charge. But they can't explain why this is so.…

Should I switch?
Morning, I switched from British Gas to EDF a couple of years ago and today (after reading Martins time to switch) I have just run my details through simply switch to get an idea how much I could save by switching again.
