Hello, thank you for posting.

Can I enquire where you obtained that tariff from please?

The best 2 yr fixed tariff I seem to be able to find currently from SP based on the East Midlands supply region is:

Primary unit rate: 28.73p
Exit fee: £30.00

Gas:

In the north east, I managed to secure the below, two weeks ago:

I will be doing the same, been offered slighly higher rates for a 2 year fix from SP (6.86p/29.86p and standing charges 27.75p/25.14p Gas/Elec) but like yourself no exit fee.
I am just waiting for today's final direct debit for my current fix to be applied to my balance so the "adjustment for my current balance" isn't so large when I confirm.

Maybe I made the correct decision with the fix I selected a couple of weeks ago then...

Looks like they've crept up the gas price and added exit fees in the past 2 weeks. 

I also opted for a plan with boiler cover, which essentially was included in the deal for the first year.

name of tariff Help Beat Cancer Green Fixed February 2024 Cm1 Online, If this helps anyone as i didnt want smart meter or boiler cover at moment,
 I Went on SP website for tariffs as new customer and showing this  Also Help Beat Cancer Green Fixed July 2024 YM1 Elect 28.73 standing charge 33p/day Gas 8.27 /35p/day, Total £60 exit fee

I’ve just had the rates below offered to start on 27/01 with a £40 early exit fee:

Fixed Deal from So Energy

So Fennel Two Year - Electricity - 1 Rate 

Standing Charge - 24.38.     Unit Rate - 26.11

Don’t think it’s too bad considering it’s only 30% above current SVT with them?

Likely to be superceded with a more expensive tariff by tomorriw

in_my_bumble_opinion

Been offered a 2 year, 5 months (29 months) leccy fix at 25p/unit with my current provider (no mains gas here).

From what I'm reading in this thread it seems a decent deal. 

One fly in the ointment is I'm on a fix at 14p/unit till the end of June, that's making me think twice.

The second fly in the ointment is the £150 exit fee  :'(,

Checked Today and now the quotes for 2 year Scottish Power quoting monthly DD is 299pm instead of 222pm The tariff has been pulled overnight and they have a more expensive new fix may 2024, I am glad i went for feb24 fix when i did, I think personally when you come off a fix you are hit with increase to bring you up to date 25% increase and then the current situation 50% increase and the further 25% for security of fix So i have increased my monthly payment from 120-205 But i am happy with my decision and my reasons why and I think although forums are very useful you have to make your own decisions Can always review/change as no exit

Ooof looks like my last minute double check that the month's direct debit had gone in last night to boost the balance a bit and accepted the fix was just in the nick of time then.

My DD went from £236 to £460 as I am a higher rate user being a guest house but I am happy with that as whatever the DD is I know I will only pay for what I use and the unit/standing charge rates were very viable.

That looks good, although you do start early.
I have been offered "So grape" which for electricity comes at 30.6p per unit + 24.86 standing charge. However I would start at the end of march.

Did you go for it? It looks as if it has been pulled.
