Anyone used White Rose Energy in West Yorkshire?

This appears to be a relatively new company set up with Leeds City Council to run as a not for profit energy supplier which uses 'profits' to feed back in to support people in fuel poverty etc. I am also aware that LCC has their own energy production site (Incinerator). Just wondered if anyone had any experience of their CS or switching.
I've got their 1 year fixed rates , just need to compare them to what I'm paying when I get home tonight. Looks like they are only available in West Yorks. though.
Electricity is 10.71p per unit, standing charge 19.98 p/d TCR 12.33, with a £22.50 online discount. Gas is 2.7p per unit TCR 3.19, standing charge 22.85/day and the same online discount.

It only launched 2 days ago, so no one would have actually switched to them yet, and I doubt anyone has any practical experience of them either yet.

It appears to be operating in partnership with Robin Hood Energy. Presumably a whilte label of Robin Hood Energy (like Ebico is a white label supplier of SSE)? If so, probably best to look at the Robin Hood Energy feedback.

[Edit: it is:
"White Rose Energy is a brand owned by Leeds City Council and operated under regulated licence by Robin Hood Energy Limited"]

Yesterday, according to their facebook page, White Rose Energy were "having a few technical problems" with their website
