As a member of your energy club I received an email confirming I was about to end my contract with isupply and should switch. I am pleased to report that there was no need to switch as isupply have given me the same deal almost as last year. Maybe all of your club members should try their present company first before switching.

    Energy suppliers do not do deals: they are not permitted to do so by Ofgem. All MSE CEC was suggesting is that your tariff is about to end so you would be wise to run a market comparison. Clearly, any deals offered by the present supplier would appear on the list.

    FWIW, if I switched to ISupply today, I would pay £70 per year more for dual fuel than I need to. Cheaper than the Big 6 but not the cheapest deal on the market.

    What was the supplier that the CEC recommended?

    Have you considered sepearte suppliers (if appropriate)

    Unfortunately, iSupply don't seem very competitive to me any more for electric (and never have been for gas)
    But the CEC will show you all :)

    You must have been on a pretty poor deal last year from iSupply if they have offered you a similar deal this year! ;)

    £84 per month for dual fuel is lots better than £120 I was paying to Scottish Power

    Comparing £84 to £120 is a meaningless comparison. You need to compare what you paid for 12 months of supply on your previous contract to what you expect to pay for the next 12 months. Remember, your £84 per month is not fixed and it could be increased at anytime by the supplier.
