Got an EDF Fix ending soon, so obviously with the current situation there are no Fixed tariffs available for any energy providers, therefore after the end of the EDF Fix it will slip automatically to their standard variable tariff.

Is there any options to switch to a cheaper standard variable tariff elsewhere? Most energy firm websites just say stick with your current provider.
Is there a way of finding a list of current energy providers with their standard variable rates listed, including standing daily rate and cost per kw/h etc -in a list comparison format? Or are they all the same currently?

Thanks

    Barely - there is a very slight discount on some Octopus tariffs and Utility Warehouse claim to be slightly cheaper than everyone else but you might get stuck buying extra things from them.

    There is no list because everyone else is the same.

    Pretty much all the same bar some very minor differences.  The exception is on economy 7 rates where significant differences have opened up on the night/day ratio.

    The government has set the amount of the SVT so all companies (except 3 that are greener but more expensive) have to charge the same.

    If you are an E7 user, some may have a split on their day/night rates that works better for you, depending on your usage times.
