Which GNE Tariff is best

in Energy
My GNE tariff  ends very soon (GNE MSE 18 Month Fix Exclusive)
I am being offered GNE Family Green 12 Month Fixed V7 when I login to my acct.
I see that another GNE tariff is currently a top pick (Green Network Energy 1yr fix)
Is there a way I can compare the two tariffs on offer?

    On the tariff I am being offered as follows.
    Electric: 14.08 per unit. Standing charge: 20.92 per day
    Gas: 2.55 per unit. Standing charge: 16.884 per day
    The other tariff on the MSE top pick list (Green Network Energy 1yr fix) is not listed on the GNE website.

    No I haven't got round to a full comparison.
    I wanted to be clear on what I'm being offered and the tariff currently shown as a Top Pick.
    My current GNE tariff, (which was an MSE exclusive) had the following prices
    Electric: 15.068 per unit. Standing charge: 12.694 per day
    Gas: 3.328 per unit. Standing charge: 16.884 per day
    Were these daylight robbery too?

    Try a comparison for separate suppliers, whole market.

    It depends what the competition were offering at the time, but presumably you didn't look?
    At present I'm paying 12.11343p/kWh + 13.2825p/day for electricity, and 2.37p/kWh + 17.29p/day for gas.

    Presume all you like, I came here looking for advice. If you have any to offer please do.

    Did you not see my advice to do a Whole Of The Market comparison??
    Start with Citizens Advice and Switch with Which? and don't forget to try separate suppliers.
