I currently pay £80 a month (electric only) and Scottish Power are offering me a fix of £136 over 2 years. Worth it?

Standing charge

56.33p

Primary unit rate

51.93p

Exit fee

£150.00

Depending how far you are prepared to gamble on the current predictions it is not unreasonable in the longer run and might be cheaper starting in January. you need to do your calculations how much energy you use in each quarter to see how much you will save/lose for that quarter and what the overall is.

BUT
The Scottish power is a flexi rather than a fix.
But I cannot find what that will really mean.
The cost of fuel is fixed but they say there are variable costs that they may pass on to the customer. 

Is this meaning the standing charge will shoot up and the SP customer just has to cope.

Scottish Power's Flexi is their SVT capped tariff and will go up on 1st Oct

Scottish Power has/had both, fixed and flexi tariff, and a mix of of both their 1 or 2 Flexi price tariff.

For the last part of it is fixed while the components listed here can change. I believe that is what you ask.

Otherwise if somebody gives us the information he has been offered a fixed tariff, we jus thave to take for granted that it is really a fix.

Given that there is only one fixed tariff available today with British Gas - how are people being quoted different kwh prices ?? 

Is it a different rate in different areas?  

pochase

Each region has different standing charges and unit rates.

Is anyone considering the Utility Warehouse fix? I am currently on a fixed rate for 2 years with Ovo but will sadly lose this when we move house this month. With our usage (Gas & Elec) I think we will be £350 a month with the predicted 81% increase. UW would be £330 but with boiler/ home cover which I currently have with another provider. I am a bit wary of the MLM angle…

I've been offered the following today from BG.
Moved house in Feb with no fixed options available then as a new customer...

Price Protection v2

Gas:
Standing charge: 24.48p
Unit Rate: 16.22p

Electric:
Standing charge: 20.11p
Unit Rate: 58.552p

"Tariff Guarantee: if prices go down you can move to any BG tariff at any time without paying any exit fees. That's a Promise"

Exit Fees elsewhere: £100 per fuel

+93% on what I'm currently paying on Standard Variable.
Probably going to do it... but ouch !

I considered UW.  To be honest, I hear lots of good things about them, and they’re not your standard MLM (or at least they have lots of positives). As a customer you don’t seem to get involved the MLM side. However if you don’t need to have the extra stuff they offer you may find a cheaper option elsewhere. 

Coincidentally my parents are about come off the 2 year OVO, I’ll be interested in what you choose!

Instead of using income from our taxes to then subsidise over inflated energy prices created by the energy suppliers saying it is all caused by market forces, should our government not work with governments worldwide to control this exploitation of the world economies? It has been suggested that we could have a limited windfall tax levied on our suppliers but isn't that rather like trying to tax exploitation by thieves? Better to deal with the matter at source as the markets are in overdrive, and that is where governments should act.
