Switching to a new energy provider – or at least to a new deal with your existing provider – is an easy way to save £££s. But when did you last do it? And if it's been a while, why?

If only I was allowed to switch!
I live in a village with electricity supply only.
Am stuck with storage heaters on a legacy ‘Super Tariff’ with a complex meter that only npower support.
Npower will not change my meter to a smart meter nor change our tariff despite moving us all onto a flat rate which is even more expensive.
I have tried all things to move, including going to the Energy Ombudsman who sided with npower (basically npower can do it so the Ombudsman is impotent).
I know I am not the only one being held captive by npower but when you ask why people haven’t switched, it is because some people can’t and npower is bleeding them dry.
Just switched home electric & gas supplier- Eon of many years.
Why? because my renewed small usage work electricity contract interestingly reduced the unit price by last year's discount % But increased the standing charge by 45.5% and removed the discount - talk aout greed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All this coming out of the first lockdown. A bad time for me!!!!!
What's the payback for Eon - they have just lost the home contract- value to them about £2K
