Three things (sorry)... 1. My fixed renewal is in July and this is the increase - from £1,380 a year to £3,000 a year - Is this the kind of hike everyone else is seeing? It's much more than the average £700 a year increase I've seen quoted. 2. I checked through the Energy Club and as a new customer, I get quoted £215 a…

If this is the case, why did those of us who…
