Just a heads up for Power NI customers if they havent seen it before,,, email from them today,

Time to move!!

"Updated rates
What's happening?
Regrettably due to rising costs in the wholesale
electricity market we are having to increase prices from
1st July 2022, by 27.5%. For an average customer this is
around 49 pence per day¹.
Why is this happening?
While we tried to absorb these additional costs for as long as
possible, due to global issues beyond our control, the continued
increase in wholesale fuel prices has resulted in the cost of electricity
rising"

Mnoee

I was waiting for them to announce their rise before considering a switch as my time with SSE is coming to and end - I think SSE are still the cheapest at the moment, if you either get their 20% new customer deal or 10% off contract renewal - at least with online everything and monthly direct debits. (Happy to be corrected, if anyone knows of cheaper!)

Neither of them have the SSE renewal deal.

They will all copy each other, maybe not right away, but they will... the savings made from moving around electric isn't worth the hassle. 

We are getting screwed regardless.

Thats what we have concluded also.  

We're now minimising our usage as the only real way to keep costs down a little.
