British Gas Price Protection 2010

DrDolittle_2

My electricity contract with BG is about to end at the end of the month and they've sent me 'an offer' of price protection to 2012 at a premium of 4% on top of the current standard rate.

Seems poor to me.
What are others going for?

There are several current threads on just this issue.

The concensus is that it is a very poor deal.

Who to switch too depends on your level of consumption. For myself as a high user I am going to OVO.

A couple of us are going to see if we can get BG to keep us on our present tariff - in line with the ofgem ruling - while the switch is pending.

Sorry, I had assumed you used gas and electricity and OVO has very cheap gas. OVO's electricity is not so competitive.

I suggest there is not much point in asking for recommendations. If 99% of people were happy with BG, that would still mean 180,000 were unhappy; and they are the ones who tend to complain.

i`ve been offered this deal too, you`ve got till the end of may to change to a different tariff.

im a bit torn,

priceprotection 2010 = £650 a year for gas&elec
new 2012 deal =£1020
websaver 7 =£800

bg now has the tariff in their quote system online if you know your current usage

OVO seem to think they are going up.:D

Its a mystery none of us know until close to the time that they are, You will start to see fixed price tariffs appearing soon.

IMO I don;t think prices will rise until next year but who am I after all
