I recently went through the MSE link to get the £15 cashback with Energy Helpline and switched to iSupply. Couldn't see any confirmation of cashback so contacted iSupply direct who said they didn't have any links with anyone to provide cashback. Anyone else have the same problem?

I suggest you contact Energyhelpline if that is who you switched through. It will be them that pay you the cashback, not the supplier.

If you didn't see any confirmation of cashback, perhaps you didn't go through the special MSE link (or failed to clear your history, cache or cookies)? If you did it correctly, there is confirmation on the landing page

By contacting the supplier directly, you could have now jeopardised your eligibility to any cashback.

ELECTRICITY ONLY TARIFFS
The Utilities page on this website currently states ienergy supply's ifix as the cheapest tariff yet with my consumption (3660kwh/yr in SY5 Shropshirepostcode) The Co-operative Energy comes out cheapest. With a lower standingcharge and slightly higher unit charge I will also save more if I use less. The electricity is sourced from renewables without paying a premium ("100% of the electricity provided to our customers in the year ending March 2012 was sourced from renewable generators"). And as a customer, I am a member and therefore I own the company ( I get a share of the profits not a fat cat investor). It's lowprice is a company policy not just an attempt to gain market share. Also the winners of the Best Energy Provider Award at the Consumer Moneyfacts Awards 2012.

This is a pro-consumer company why are you not highlighting this?

Any thoughts anyone?

A quick PS
I think the Green Energy Tariff section of this page should be edited in light of The Co-operative Energy's green policy. Under the Question can I compare Green Tariffs "This is one area where going green and saving money diverge" does not fit with The Co-oerative Energy's policy.

Really quick question: we are with British Gas on a standard tarrif and the comparison site suggests NPower for £185 saving. Now British Gas installed and service our boiler. Will NPower take over the boiler care? TIA.

I spend monthly on Gas 50 kwh
on electric 160 kwh.
can anyone tell me if this is right.
thanks

Only you can really know - where did you get your figures from? Your Electric consumption is low, but your gas consumption is extremely low, so I suggest you double check that.

You can keep your boiler care with BG if you prefer.

Boiler cover is not related to who supplies you energy (except your energy supplier will often try and flog such things if you don't opt out of such marketing)

Thank you Wywth!!

I live on a small development that has not had its roads, sewers or sewage treatment plant adopted so we use quite a lot of electrical energy a year for street lighting and the sewage treatment plant - about 12,000 kWh. The estate is operated by a not-for-profit limited company, run by the residents.
I have just used a price comparison site that suggests that EoN will show a significant saving for our electrical energy but I cannot find out if we would be accepted as a domestic user. Despite being a company, we are not a commercial organisation; we are a company limited by guarantee which has advantages for the members (residents) in the way the estate is managed and the company is governed by the requirements of the various Companies Acts.
My question is, does anybody, especially EoN customers, buy energy for a similar organisation and what tariffs have they been offered. Do the results from price comparison sites apply in these circumstances?

I read recently that e-on were told to pay compensation to customers because e-on charged exit fees to customers who decided to leave because of an upcoming price rise.

Does this apply to all energy providers?

I know EDF's prices are going up this Friday, so if I tell them I am switching away from them because of their price increase then they have to waive the exit fee policy when I do. Is this so?

At least a couple of threads on this elsewhere on this board.
