"This tariff is exclusively available to customers who've been with Co-op for more than 8 months.

It's cheaper than anything available on the market, and features fixed prices for 12 months, so you're protected from future rises. It also features 100% renewable electricity."

The monthly cost difference is estimated at £77 per month. I'm still tempted by the fix. Opinions?
