Energy discounts

I have noticed many fixed 1 year energy duel fuel deals with providers giving no exit fee and offering a duel fuel discount at the end of the 1 year fixed deal.

This is a way of advertising no exit fee effectively.

Are these worth taking as this market seems to be ever changing?

    Just choose the cheapest in your area. Dont listen to other offers. They are the companies' ways of saying 'dont take our rivals' better deal, take our's'....

    That is what I am saying - the cheapest in the list comes with the discount that you only get if you stay with them for a year.

    Am I missing something?

    A year's contract is standard.

    A bonus for customers who stay the full term, is just another way of charging an Early Exit Fee
