Good Point, the poster should look for a supplier who offes a % discount or a discount from unit rate. I think E.on and SSE both offer % discounts, I think SSE offers the highest discount.

SSE won't offer you the tariff or discuss your eligability until you are a customer with them. Something about unfair competition so a mate was told when he phoned up

I understood that this was a fairly common practice with all companies.

In fact I had not heard of npower's very generous £150 per fuel rebate for those qualifying for a social tariff(anyone know the criteria for qualification)

If that message gets about, then surely every low user on a low income will move to npower?

A £300 rebate on, say, a £600 bill is massive.

Even someone with an average UK bill of £1200 would be getting a great deal with a 25% discount.

Given npower's disgraceful actions on 'sculpting' perhaps we should ensure this gets maximum publicity!!!!

Thanks.

You stated in your opening post that you get £150 per fuel and would have got £300 had you dual fuel.

If it is not a flat rate, how is the £150 per fuel calculated?
