Southern Electric Sole Suppliers of an area?
I had a rep from Southern Electric at my door today saying that Southern Electric ran their pipes through our area - and don't have to pay any middle man for charges so they are cheaper than other suppliers and guaranteed their rates were cheaper and to switch. Does this sound normal? Is there such a thing as a middle man…

Has Martin Mis-Advised Us Into Capping Our Fuel Rates?
Well Martin, if you are reading.. Are you still confident that your advise on capping energy rates was a good decision? I suspect many thousands of people followed your advice.

No Mains Gas
We live in a village that does not have mains gas. Our house is supplied via a bulk gas tank that serves 9 other houses, of which relies on regular deliveries.

We've had the usual accusation of being 'irrational', 'ranting', 'you know nothing' blah blah blah. I for one have never claimed to be an expert on this subject (I'm always extremely…

Fixed costs versus Capped costs - beware!
At the height of the flurry of advice on switching suppliers several months ago I switched to Southern Electric on a fixed cost tarriff to 2010 foolishly thinking this meant my charges were fixed until 2010.
