    Thanks. I have been looking at NPowers website and they say that their price fix 2015 us 3.5% cheaper than their standard and 2017 fix is cheaper than the standard by 2% how does that work as I thought it was more? Can someone explain?
    It probably just illustrates how they, and other suppliers, stitch you up with their standard tariffs. It's what they automatically put you on when your current tariff ends, and many people just continue with it if they haven't got the time or ability to look for a cheaper tariff.

    Be good to see the nitty gritty of the pence per kwhr rates of these long term fixes. They are comparing with "standard tariffs ," the highest. You dont have to be on standard.
    When I checked that deal I jumped at it, as advised by Martin on his radio 5 live regular slot on thursday afternoons but blanched at the super high kwhr rate. I might not live long enough to benefit, so chickened out onto a lesser fix
