    I'm switching to the coop. One tariff, £50 discount off first bill,£100 current savings no exit penalty so I can leave if they become uncompetitive. Plus coop division points. Stuff the big players.
    If the ball had gone in the net it would have been a goal.
    If my Auntie had been a man she'd have been my Uncle.

    Never knew the co-op had energy, had a look but they are £346 a year more than EDF which I switched to yesterday. So not competitive for me :(

    Thet dont come up on comparison website unless you select all tariffs as you have to go direct to them. You get the £50 discount. I only use 3400KW electric and was on Scot Power OS10 so was faced with a 40% increase if I didnt switch. Coop gives me £100 annualised savings from 1 Aug... until the Coop price probably increase .. but then I can leave without penalty.

    I feel they are also a more ethical company having just been ripped off by SP,
