    It may be a regional thing, as well as usage level, but for me Scottish Power Online Fixed Price Energy June 2018 v2 is still coming up cheaper than Iresa

    But that maybe due to our lower than average usage. The SP tariff offers low daily standing charge, countered by higher unit charges. They also have discounts for online and dual fuel.
    Iresa daily standing charges are much higher, but are countered by lower unit prices, so will tend to favour higher consumers. (Higher consumers generally drive higher profits, assuming they have their pricing correct).

    Having said that, for gas, Economy Energy have just come up with a stonking good deal for gas (Direct saver 2017 (v3)) - that has an average daily standing charge but about 2.5p per kWh (which is good compared to many others, including the likes of Zog).
    This now beats SP for gas (for us) even when allowing for a dual fuel discount.
    (SP were beating Zog for us after allowing for dual fuel discount)

    Edit: Green Network Energy-The Italian Touch GNE Fix comes in at about the same price as Iresa for dual fuel for us (but see my warnings elsewhere about Green Network Energy - but these prices are coming from a comparison site rather than their own website, so may be more accurate)

    EE seems to have its troubles:
