I have saved £82 on my years duel fuel by switching tariff with Scotish Power with "Freedom to move".
Anyone can move to a diffrent tariff with in Scotish power before the end of their contract.

I looked on energyhelpline.com and a few others and then made the switch to Online fixed price energy January 2016.
The tariff I was on and my new tariff have no exit fees.

My duel standing charge fees was £250 per year and now dropped tp £150 per year.
Standing charge now gas= 20.55 & electric 20.55p per day
KWh rate has gone up slightly to electric 11.180 KWh and gas 3.486 KWh.

I changed tariffs online - no phone call needed.
Very easy.
The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    I've just managed to saving today too. I was on July 2015 and moved to Jan 2016. A saving of over £100.

    The fixes have been getting cheaper for months. I switched again from the SP December 2015 fix. The standing charge makes a huge difference.
