Which Tarif?
Quick question: Would we be better going for a Scottish Power deal over a EDF deal seeing as we know SP's new prices but do not know EDF's? According to the energy helpline website, i can save the same amount, £218, on both the SP Online Saver 12 and the EDF Saver 7 (ofcourse i can get £100 from EDF and £80 from cashback).
