Energy: Find the cheapest supplier & earn cashback

murphydavid

So as a "normal" (gas and electric from the same provider paying by DD) consumer with Shell Energy standard tarif. If I were to switch to Octopus I would save £2.00 a year and put myself in the process of becoming an existing customer and possibly gain a further £48.00 per annum at some point in the future?
This is not a statement but a query?

It suggests so, after 8 months?

Just  to clarify, existing Octopus customers, as of April 2002, were put on a £48 per annum discount from their standard tariff, which itself is £2 pa below the cap (for a typical user).

I don't think Octopus Energy even existed back then.

Oops! I've amended the post to show 2022. Thanks for the heads up.

Apologies for posting on an old thread, but I couldn't see a newer one.

I've just done a search for a gas supplier using the MSE energy club. The cheapest deals shown are far more expensive than the fixed deal from my current supplier, OVO. I don't know why this would be and makes me wonder what other deals the MSE energy club is missing.

Is it not just that you're on a fix that can't be beaten at present?

I assume you are using your actual annual kWh usage for comparison purposes. Also look at what filters you have applied to your search results.

Are you looking for a gas-only switch? Relatively few suppliers will accept a gas-only switch, so it reduces the pool of tariffs you can compare with.

Cheap energy club website statement.

The comparison below is against today's April-June Price Cap (as firms haven't yet published the rates they'll charge under the July Cap), on which you pay £1,811/year. So your savings will be c. 7% LESS than listed once we get to July.

Yet most will still save substantially with today's cheapest fixes (as it's currently predicted after October the Cap will remain roughly stable).

Gas prices have fallen very sharply in the past two sessions, although only back to where they were a couple of weeks ago, but even so keep checking as new deals that come along could be a bit cheaper.
