Perhaps this should be a poll?
I wrote a program to record my energy usage and costs over a year, but then i realised that perhaps it ought to allow for 2 year tariffs...
Athough, I signed up to a 2-Year tariff once, and ended up losing money...
Just wondered what other people were doing.

    I normally do one year, but opted for a two year gas when prices were rising & Brexit was end of the world
    Gas has since become cheaper so I'm losing money, but not enough to warrant the early leaving cost required to move

    Generally only one year and then I'll jump. 
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers
  • 2 years. Sometimes the cheapest rate supplier will go bust. Though next time I will probably go USwitch and then ring them up for a better fixed quote.
