All the BIG SWITCHS this year have been Pants I don't think I will bother signing up to this one

I don't think you have to sign up each time. If you have signed up previously to this organiser, I think you remained signed up.

But I agree, most collectives have not been very good value lately.

Will be insteresting to see what MSE come up with next week, as at least they have in the past refused to promote collective switches that fail to save people money (hopefully they will continue with this stance :money:)

At least you know that Iresa will not be providing the new collective deals

But not expecting to see any real deals from companies I trust. The iChoosr tariffs offered the last few times weren't the cheapest by far nor were the tariffs much cheaper than the energy company's own normal offerings. I think the gas deal offered to me was POINT ZERO ONE of a penny cheaper than the company's normal fixed tariff.

The Big Deal is offering a collective today:

Bristol Energy Collective Switch Paperless Bills

Britain’s first clean energy deal from a council-owned company
All profits are ploughed back into the community
Offer limited to first 2,000 customers

Bristol Energy are a national energy company, owned by Bristol City Council. Their profits will be invested back into local communities.

You'll get 100% green electricity, generated right here in the UK.

You'll get a great price - around £228 per year cheaper than a standard variable from the Big Six! [1]

You'll also get friendly customer care - from a Bristol-based team.

It's a one year fixed term tariff, costing the average dual fuel household £910 over a period of 12 months [2].

I don't find this tariff competitive, but someone else may?

However, I do like the thought profits are invested back into local communities. Local Councils have to raise funds from somewhere these days, I guess, to fill shortfalls in funding?
