Hello nice people, this is my first post on this forum and I'm wondering if you can help me.

I'm looking at EDF, and I am having trouble working out which is better, the online saver version 8 or energy discount plan version 4. The former advertises minimum 2% discount on standard tarrif, and the latter 2.5% discount on standard unit rates. Now, I'd think 2.5% discount is better than 2% but the indications on the website are that I'd save more with the online saver. So is there something else that I am missing? I've read the T&Cs and they haven't helped.

any advice from the experts appreciated!

    Use a comp site to do the comparison and it will tell you.

    I think you missed the word 'minimum'.
    That doesn't mean that's all you'll get.

    As macman says, use a comparison site to find the best deal for you :)
