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 help to run a village hall, also a noncorporate business, a registered charity in fact. It is not treated (by E.on) as residential, and I think you will find all utilities will do the same. When your meters were installed the numbers were allocated to either a residential or a nonresidential register and you will not be able to change that. E.on will tell you, if you quote the actual meter number (from any bill) to them. The good news is that if you ask them what their best rate is, it will be *better* than any residential tariff..

Please can somebody explain to me how the cost of fixed price contracts is worked out?
Martin says "Those on standard tariffs paying £1,390/yr will pay £1,180 on this"- but how is that worked out? I pay far less than that pa at present, should I ignore offers like that?
Where does the £1080 actually come from?

As it says in the article, it's an average.
The article is not offering you any particular deal, just advice.

Follow the advice and see what the suppliers (via the comparison sites) will offer you in your individual situation

Been with British Gas on their Online Energy tariff and had my £50 'stay with us' credit now.

So was looking around and possible switches and the NPower tariff MSE was promoting was going to save me £250 at my usage. That tariff seems to have been pulled now and the best saving I can find now is £120 (could save more with First Utility but I've read the reviews!). That's not bad but not brilliant.

Do new bargain tariffs come out often (like the NPower one)? Is it worth waiting?

A bird in the hand...

£120 a year saving is not to be sniffed at ... and in the event someone does come along later with a jaw dropping deal that saves you a further £130 a year, you'd still be in the money switching again even with the usual early exit fees.

Hi all, a quick question I hope someone can help with.

I've done some analysis on my existing tariff and I'm ready to switch to a new supplier for both gas & electricity.

The link on MSE suggests I can earn £30 cashback via a link to Moneysupermarket.com, however, having clicked that link I can see no mention of it whatsoever, almost as if the £30 cashback deal has expired.

Can anyone provide any insight, advice or guidance on this matter? If indeed the £30 cashback deal has expired then from what I can see the next best cashback offer if £15 from energyhelpline.com, is that correct?

Many thanks in advance

When you click the special MSE link to moneysupermarket.com, you should see this filling the top left of the landing page.




But as explained in the article, you could earn a possible £40 cashback if you switch both gas & electric though the special MSE link via Simplyswitch

Hi,
I did a comparison through the MSE link to moneysupermarket, and from my list chose co-operative energy. The only option to switch was by phone, not online, so I called the number moneysupermarket provided which went direct to co-op. I asked about the cashback offer and a few days later they said I needed to contact moneysupermarket with my account number. I have, but am still waiting to hear from them.
Has anyone else had to switch Not via the website and has this worked for them?
Super pleased with cooperative energy customer service so far BTW!
Thanks

I compared prices on moneysupermarket, uswitch and simply switch and the results were not the same even though I used kwh figures which should give accurate results.
Using OVO as an example that interested me I then noticed that the figures used for a specific tariff were different compared to OVO's own website, only small differences but sufficient with thousands of units to significantly alter their performance in the results.
Make of this what you will.

The amount of newbies that claim similar on this board is amazing, and to date I can't remember anyone proving the allegation.

Give us the data you input to the two sites if you think there is a difference in output. Perhaps you will be the first to prove a variance?

Always happy to be proved there may be an inconsistency, and I challenge you to povide us with the evidence to judge for ourselves.
