Misleading Energy Club comparison

fredwarwick

I've just signed up to Tonik energy on the basis that the Energy Club comparator said I would save £95 per year but then realised that Tonik say it will be plus £12 year.


On checking, the rates used by the Energy Club are too low.


Not good!!


Be careful when using the Energy Club!


Very disappointing from MSE

Did you check what your were signing uo or. Comparing like with like, making sure you were using your annual kwh consumption and making sure that you weren't close to the end of a fixed contract.

you should never look at the potential savings, but do your own sums and check the projected cost based on your consumption in kwh and the tariff that's offered.

Yes I accept that I wasn't diligent enough but for MSE to rate a company on figures of 2.625 p/kwh and a daily charge of 21.998 p when the actual rates are 3.019 and 32.648 is somewhat disconcerting.


You are right - do your own sums and don't trust MSE figures

Which tariff? Just checked Positively Green v12 and its the same.

Just checked 3 of their tariffs and the prices quoted match.
