I am trying to do a price comparison as Martin is recommending us to switch to a fixed rate. This tariff isn't on Cheap Energy Club or Uswitch.  Does anyone know which is the closest tariff for comparison please?

    Welcome to the forum.  Avro went bust months ago !
    Not sure that Martin is recommending you switch to a fixed rate, most seem not to be much good and no-one yet knows what the cap will be on 7 February.  Proceed with caution.

    The last bit I read, he was suggesting more people would benefit from sitting tight for now.
