Scottish Power - free electricity NOT A JOKE

in Energy
I have just come off Money Supermarket.com as our fixed price with E-on ended yesterday.
i was advised to put in standard tarrif to get accurate comparison.
So it brings up this list of 39 deals
I sure this is a huge mistake by Scottish Power but the deal is Fixed Price Energy April 2014 NSC Online (there is also a version that drops the Online word but the tarriffs are the same).
HERES THE POINT IT LISTS ELECTRICITY PRICE AS
0 TO 900KWH 0.00 :money::money::money::money: That makes it free, nil, no cost
OVER 900 KWH 0.00
GAS PRICE
0 TO 2680KWH 7.784p
OVER 2680 KWH 3.452p
I entered for duel fuel comparisons and the list also shows discount for duel fuel at £16.80
Compare to my last annual spend of £1216 this deal works out at £734.34 saving me £766.23!!!1
Sign up quick before they realise their mistake!!!:T:T:T:T:T

I very much doubt you're going to get free electricity for 2 years
The mistake was made by Moneysupermarket and not Scottish Power. I'd imagine Scottish Power will write to the people involved, let them know the correct prices and let them cancel the transfer if they want.0 -
Hi G51shopaholic,
We are currently getting more information on the numebr of customers who signed up on this deal.
I would not expect you to get your electricity for free.
Kind regards
