Hi
I'm currently with Scottish Power on the most basic plan. I am renting a 1 bedroom apartment for 6 months -12 months at very max, I don't really know which plan to go for as most fixed incur penalties if you leave before 12 months. Can anyone give any suggestions doesn't have to be fixed etc. Thanks

If you're simply going to move house within the UK, you could probably take the tariff with you and at the very least stay with the same provider and not incur penalties?

Consult a comparison site - most clearly show what, if any, early exit fees would apply.

Why are you planning on accepting a tariff for a fixed term that you will want to leave early?
Most suppliers do not apply the early exit fees to those that end the term early due to moving address.

You can't do this.

When you leave a property you give your meter reads and get a final bill. That contract is cancelled.

At your new property you give meter reads to the existing supplier of the property and enter into a "deemed contract" . Then you put your estimated consumption into a comparison site and switch.
