  • Thanks everyone, your comments have really helped make a decision.  We are going to stick with SP and extend to 2023 now. Thanks again
  • I'm with Scottish Power, fix is ending on 31/12, their new fixed plans are double what I've being paying, is there a capped unit and standing charge rate if I switch to a variable plan? All I can see is an average use money cap value (£1277) but not a capped unit rate to work out what it would cost me.

    Yes there's a capped variable tariff, SP's tariff data is available here (you'll need to give your postcode and a few other details):

    Many thanks, got it the figures are 20.2 for elec 3.95 for gas  26p standing charge, better than the fixed options but still a huge increase, guess I haven't got much of a choice for now other than to drop onto this and see how things go
  • A rough calculation shows I'll be paying just over 50% more than my current fix  by dropping onto SP's standard rate, currently paying 13.3 (elec) and 2.2 (gas) with 21p daily charge, was good while it lasted  :'(

    Those were excellent rates and there's been nothing similar available for a while now!
    As you say, it was good while it lasted.
