Cooperative Energy

My fixed agreement with Cooperative Energy comes to an end soon and they are offering me a £150 Loyalty discount if I sign up again either until July 2019 or 2020.
Energy prices confuse me as other firms seem to change their prices quite often so, basically, all I'm asking is, do people think the Cooperative is as good as anyone else on balance in their prices. Our combined annual bill is around £1,200.
I have head that some comparison sites do not show the full range of prices anyway.

    I've had the same offer. I'm probably going to go for the two year fix, at £2 more a month than present.

    I will do some comparisons before deciding but haven't had chance yet.

    Go to a switching website and see how much switching a supplier will save you.

    Beware of incentives to join/stay. This usually means that you will be given a higher tariff than what is available elsewhere.

    If you want to make a free £100-odd from the Co-op, switch bank account and then leave when you have the money.

    Just checked mine using the MSE Cheap Energy Club, and it's still the cheapest by £10 a month.

    All the accredited comparsion sites should show all the generally available tariffs, but I understand that requirement is being relaxed shortly.

    However, the MSE Cheap Energy Club has committed to continue to show all :)
