If this is real you should go immediately for it.
This must be a mistake, this is the level from May before the £2800 cap was predicted.0 -

This must be a mistake, this is the level from May before the £2800 cap was predicted.BG have a track record of occasionally offering ancient tariffs for no apparent reason.I agree, if there's no obvious reason *not* to take it, you should take it.

Tariff is called Exclusive Fixed Energy v16 and well worth it if it's being offered to you, check it out!

Worse, it will be only just for a small number of existing customers as here unit rates are offered that belong into May and are not viable today.1 -

For the record, this is what I was offered a few days ago as an existing BG customer with a fix ending in early October:Exclusive Fixed Energy v20ElectricityStanding Charge - 28.40 p/dayUnit Price - 50.214 p/kWhGasStanding Charge - 24.48 p/dayUnit Price - 15.157 p/kWhFixed Term - 1 yearCancellation Fees - None
That's about £650 pm for me as against £200 at the moment, but that's going to increase to at least £510 in October, probably more. Green Energy want about £500 pm on their Sparkling tariff.
The Green Energy deal is a lot better, but it would mean switching away very early from what is currently a very low tariff, so it makes little sense at present (I think!) to move. I still reckon that political pressure will oblige the 'new' government to manipulate the 1 October increase to keep it well below the predicted 65% - I'm not sure they'll be keen on Poll Tax riots!0 -
Currently on EDF standard as fixed dal ended. They are currently offering a fixed deal for 2 years with £300 early exit fee:
Electric
Unit cost 43.1p
Standing charge 48.15p
Gas
Unit cost 13.438p
Standing charge 27.22p
My monthly estimated cost is £217 (currently £150).
My gut feeling is I don't want to lock in for 2 years with so much volatility but what do you think?0
