Have BG put up CLICK ENERGY 5 prices this week?

payless

the 2 comparison sites I looked at today are quoting click 5 ( way cheapest- assume based on old prices ) of course you can't sign up to click 5 anymore

I've just switched to Click Energy 6 from 5 - It'll cost me £130 more per year than the old CE5 prices but £150 less than the new CE5 prices. My electricity usage outweighs my gas usage by 3:1 though and I gather the new prices seem to penalise gas usage more. Still saving £270 per year over the fixed tariff (for the meantime)...

I'm not suggesting your figures are incorrect but are you comparing like with like? Are they both online-only accounts, for instance?

I've jumped too - I checked via uSwitch which showed Click5 £80+ cheaper than the other online, monthly direct debit 'offers', doing the calculation manually using Click6 prices its still about £50 a year cheaper.

Prices for Click 6 look a bit cheaper here too, not by much but anything is better than nothing, as my daughter only recently signed up online can she change to Click 6 using the website or does she have to phone

Strange:

Those prices are for single fuel - not dual fuel.

My prices cut and pasted above are for dual fuel and are cheaper for electricity 19.368/9.030 to 22.686/10.577 on the link above

Gas is more expensive 6.86/3.485 to 6.664/3.335 on the link

This morning the BG website showed Click 5, now it is showing Click 6

So single fuel electricity is considerably more expensive than dual fuel electricity. by 17%

However I didn't think you could have single fuel gas?? - they insisted you must have electricity as well?

Can anyone point me to where the dual fuel monthly DD prices are listed (EDIT: for the new Click 5 tariffs)? As has been said before the PDFs linked only seem to mention the single fuel tariffs.

Looks like the new Click 6 prices will cost me £394 a year more than the Click 5 prices I signed up to. Want to see what the comparison is between the current Click 5 and Click 6...

Start here and choose duel, gas, or electricity.
Then nearly half way down you will see a tab "price finder".

Yeah, sorry, I meant the NEW CLICK 5 prices. I've got the Click 6 prices and my letter from British Gas confirming what the previous Click 5 prices were.

What I can't find is the new (post 30 September) Click 5 Dual fuel prices. Both the PDFs linked earlier in this thread (and which I can find on the BG site) seem to talk only about single fuel - or at best aren't clear whether they refer to dual fuel tariffs.

I thought the prices were the same duel fuel or single, the only difference being the £15 discount given in the notes under the electricity prices.

Notes

3. The dual fuel discount is £15 (inc VAT @ 5%) per annum – it is pro-rated and applied daily and appears on the electricity bill.
4. The dual fuel discount is given where British Gas supplies both gas and electricity to the same property (and the accounts are in the same names). Only one dual fuel discount per property.
5. Electricity customers paying by Monthly Direct Debit or Standing Order will receive a discount off their quarterly consumption charges of 9%, up to a maximum of £10 (including VAT) per quarter.
