When did this tariff appear?

It is the cheapest for me, even cheaper than SG websaver12.

    I believe they introduced it the same day they announced the price increase.

    It is SP's cheapest tariff, but it only tracks SP's standard rate by 1%. As we all know the SP prices go up on the 1st of august.

    Unlike the OLE 14 tariff, it has not been announced if this tariff will skip the price increases on that date or not.

    So id opt for the ole 14 if a discounted tariff is the way you want to go.
  • I am going for this tariff I think from EDF OS7. I am under the impression the prices will stay the same as advertised at this moment in time. it is £120 cheaper than EDF V2 Fix so I think its worth the risk and if they increase the price of it you can reject the price increase and find a new supplier.

    Bare in mind m8, all the good capped fixed or discounted price tariffs will either be gone or will have increased in price by that time.

    So you may find you will have no option but to go for a far more expensive tariff, while wishing you took the cheapest fix now.
  • I just think £120 of a difference is far to steep for 1 years security and Fix 2014 is to expensive assuming prices don't rise in year one your paying over £200 for an insurance policy and then if/when prices rise you need the margain of cost to break even before you can say Fixing was worth it.

    All these fixed tariff are just like greeks bearing gifts.

    ul probabaly find you will be breaking even after edfs price increase, but if they go up again after this next batch... you will definetly be at a loss.

    Hi Group,

    I wonder if you can help me? I'm trying to find a price list of the Online Energy Saver 14 tariffs from Scottish Power.

    I heard on the phone as follows:

    Elec:
    17.803 (first 225)
    10.066 (remaining)
    x.xxx (night)

    Gas:
    6.521 (first 670)
    x.xxx (remaining)

    If someone could fill in the blanks, or point me to a link, that would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Regards
    Mark
