Just compared the EDF fixed tariffs to Octopus rates and to my surprise Octopus are a fraction more expensive.bristolleedsfan said:
Octopus electricity unit rate for my region 1.78p higher than Outfox The Market, 1.16p higher than EDF with Gas unit rate broadly the same.( 12 month fixes)jak22 said:These things depend on usage and region but there's a new Octopus 12M that seems to be 0.5p kWh cheaper for elec than the previous June v4 and so works out as similar to the EDF fix - but the EDF mentions early exit fees. There's the EDF variable tracker that has lower standing charges but that also seems to have early exit fees.
Is there a calculator or spread sheet that will help to work out what the prices will be ?
