    I switched to EquiPower & EquiGas from EBIco Ltd (Southern Electric) a few months ago, depends which area you are in , I am in North West.

    Electric 6.85p per KWh inc vat @5%

    Gas 1.6p per KWh inc vat @ 5% (flat rate wherever you live)

    No standing charge, no minimum usage, if you don`t use anything for 3 months (long holiday:) ) then nothing to pay, and single tarriff

    the only problem now is that you are still with southern, and in fact, you appear to have switched from southern to southern. if ebico were any good, you'd have thought that they would lower the southern prices. Ebico are relatively cheap because they are relatively new. once they get hit by all the requirements they will be as expensive as everyone else... remember what happened to atlantic once southern got their mits on them.
    Beware the green?

    If this is in reply to my post? then I really don`t care, if what you say happens, then I will just change suppliers, but at the moment they are definately cheaper for me :)
