I have been a customer of Scottish Power for several years. Following the anouncement of their hike in gas prices I thought it time to move, and compared prices through one of the sites recommended by Martin Lewis.

I wanted fixed price for as long as possible, and after doing the comparisons opted for a supplier that would charge me about £16 a year more than my current bill from Scottish Power but fixed for 2 years. Then just to make sure I was doing the right thing I checked with Scottish Power and Bingo! I was able to go on to a new tariff with them fixed until the end of 2014 and saving me £300 a year based on current prices.:T

What is the name of this tarrif?

Are you sure its a fixed price tarrif and not a discounted one?

Seems no one is offering cash back for Co-op.

It's because you have to go direct and you will then get £50 discount off your first bill. (Single/dual fuel).

Am interested to know the name of this tariff as well? Just switched from energy saver online 12 to EDF fixed tariff 2014 . I was told SP could not compete with EDF tariif? If SP could offer me the new tariff, I would have stayed with them.

Slightly OT: but does anyone know if, on the EDF Fixed Saver V2 tariff, the prices can drop (unlikely, I know!) as well as remain the same?

Does anyone know if you can enter your meter reading online each month on the EDF Fixed Saver V2 tariff? I like to keep an eye on my usage

You could spend £175 on paying a 19% hike to stay with Scottish Power's Online 12 tarrif. Or give them a call and switich to Online 14, where the tarrif seems to remain unchanged. Or that's what the Scottish Power lady on the phone told me. Is she right?

Seems that she is right, for now:- Online Energy Saver 14
but no guarantee how long this will go on for as this tariff only guarantees prices to stay 2% below the Standard Monthly Direct Debit charges.
