Is there an easy way to compare Energy Collective Deals?

manevs

There seems to be a sudden surge in Collective Deals at the moment from the likes of MSM, MSE, uSwitch, NHS, Radio Times, Noddle, etc + loads of local authority ones - these don't appear in the normal comparison engines so is there an easy way to do a comparison?

Of course, I could sign up to them all but that seems a bit of a palaver!

Is there a Energy Collectives comparison engine out there somewhere? Googling doesn't seem to reveal anything.

No.

A collective switch tariff is special tariff offered only through one third party source (e.g. a specific comparison site). You cannot even get it direct from the supplier. Therefore you have to go to that source to find the details.

Sometimes you may even need to sign up in advance to even be offered the tariff (but there will be no obligation to take up the offer)

Why is it a palaver?
Most of them, once you're signed up, will usually keep you on record so next time they do a collective deal, you'll get notified about it and you can either ignore it, read it or go for it.

Normally the collective deals can be better than anything you get through the comparison sites so the best thing to do would be to do a regular search and see where your collective deal offer sits with those and make a decision from there as to how good it is.

Almost never is this the case. They are good dual fuel deals but are not cheaper thantariffs generally available.

For me electric has been the top of the pile with the USwitch deal just beating the MSE deal. Gas prices are way off the cheapest though. Some of the switch sites have the collectives available to use as "current tariff" pretty quickly so you could do a comparison based on "current price" using the new tariffs.
