    Mine is 10.9p kWh for Lecci; 3.38p for Gas....(Gas..:mad:) need to adjust; mind you, Gas has dropped in price since I took the deal. Don't know if the TCR takes into account the £30 I got for switching....:T

    Interested to read about other people`s TCR`s, just worked out mine (I`ve never changed supplier in the 3 years I`ve been at my current address), Elec - 17.34, and Gas - 4.4. Maybe I should consider a change.

    No maybe about it Shavy, get in with MSE Cheap Energy Club.....:beer:

    With SSE Collective 1 Year Fixed till 05/04/17

    Gas Your Tariff Comparison Rate (TCR) is 2.77p per kWh (2.22p/kWh)

    Electricity Your Tariff Comparison Rate (TCR) is 12.16p per kWh (9.92p/kWh)

    Should have to pay £30 for each to leave but as they cannot show my correct address on system. Still showing North Humberside 20 years after it ceased to exist. Complained as you do they have let me off so I could leave fee free. Was cheapest at the time so stayed.

    Time to do another comparison!

    Based on my usage of:

    Gas 9000kWh and Elec 2300kWh

    £3 cheaper to stay where I am! :D

    I'm also with First utility on First Fixed May 2017 v3 ONLINE

    Paying 2.149p per kWh gas. TCR 2.69 per kWh. S/C 18.4p per day

    Paying 10.456p per kWh electricity. TCR 12.62 per kWh. S/C 18.4p a day

    Based on usage of 13040kWh gas and 2110kWh electricity, monthly payment is £47.00:D

    I was using over 5000kWh of electricity pre solar panels:eek:

    Reduction was not just down to SP...made me look how energy was being

    used/wasted.

    I'm also registered with:-

    https://www.nelincs.gov.uk/homes-and-property/home-energy-grants/big-community-switch/

    Checked their offer last year but was more or less the same as I'm paying now.

    Always looking for a better deal though;)

    Your DD is the same as mine apart from the fact that I opened a Sant. 123 current account, (pays 3% interest on balances) so changed it to £100.00 a month to get the 2% extra reward, then get a rebate from supplier every 2 months....as Tesco say 'every little bit helps'.;).. ;)..:D
