Npower ditching Spreading Warmth Tariff

frames1_uk

I just had a letter from NPower saying this tariff comes to an end on 19th August and my account will be transferred to the standard variable tariff.

They have a new scheme called Warm Home Discount, but I don't qualify as no JSA or income support, just tax credits.

I called them to enquire as was advised that the standard tariff of
standing charge of 10.9p and unit rate of 15.53p (inclusive of VAT) was the best rate for me.

Haven't changed suppliers for many many years, so wondering where the best place to start is, for comparisons.

Thanks

I've just had one of those letters too and am not eligible for the new scheme, so I joined MSE's Cheap Energy Club (www moneysavingexpert.com/ cheapenergyclub), filled in the details from my npower account webpage - remembering to select 'standard' as the tariff rather than 'spreading warmth', because you want to look at a forecast comparison, not an historical one, in order to get the best deal. My best looks like Scottish Power variable online 22, simply because when you add the cashback to projected savings it comes out cheaper than Flow Energy ThamesTariff (which was the top pick).
Hope that helps.
