I can't see how they can justify a cancellation charge when they are changing the contract that you signed up for. The price may be variable but I signed up to them taking all things into consideration including free nectar points. Surely if they are stopping those they are breaking the terms of the contract.

Personally I prefer staying with the one provider so I can properly chart my energy usage vs their charges, which isn't something you can tell by chopping and changing the whole time. Also EDF kept buying up whoever I might have wanted to switch to (London Electricity, Seeboard Energy to name just two) but now they've been sold off to this Hong Kong outfit, I might give them one last quarter before moving on.

I considered switching, turned out Powergen's electricity was even dearer one month ago, so the grass isn't always greener. I'll have another look whenever these rises come in.

I don't understand. Why do you need to 'chart' the use vs charges?
