I'm currently "stuck" with EDF for Gas whilst the Energy Ombudsman sort out an issue, so I'm ensuring I'm on their lowest tariff.

They've recently introduced 1+ year fixes with no exits fees but since I signed up for the first time couple of weeks back, there have been another two, each with lower prices.

19/3 - Simply Fixed Direct Jun26v8 - 6.611p/kWh / 25.914 SC
27/3 - Simply Fixed Direct Jul26 - 6.014p/kWh / 25.925 SC
31/3 - 
Simply Fixed Direct Jul26v2 - 5.918p/kWh / 25.925 SC

SVT from 1/4 is 6.924p/kWh / 32.782 SC for my region - significantly more.

Just a heads up in case others haven't realised this and want/need to stick with EDF.

    The above fix is also available to existing EDF customers through Topcashback, £25 bung for single fuel, £50 dual fuel.

    I selected Jul26 last week (27th) and the £50 pending cashback appeared within an hour.

    There is a requirement to stay on the tariff for 3 months, check the Ts and Cs.

    Ah, I missed that - I assumed existing customers wouldn't get CB so didn't even check.

    There will probably be a v3 next week so I'll do that then and see what happens - might not work since I'm already on a fix. I wonder if a switch back to SVT for a day and then back again would work.

    Is the July26v2 cheaper for you now too?

    Yes, v2 is cheaper, but I won't start crying unless it becomes £50 cheaper over 3 months, not likely for my usage level.

    I am still on Essentials Apr 2025 and was able to select the next tariff to start when that finishes.

    I could probably cancel the change under the 14 day rule with EDF and then reorder v2 via TCB as the switch hasn't happened, but I'm not going to risk confusing the system and losing out on my bung.

    Yeah, best wait till the £50 clears in TCB and then see what fixes they have then.

    EDF now have a July25v3 fix, but its gone up compare to the v2 from Monday.

    6.01p per kWh (up from 5.918p) for my region.

    It's almost like EDF want to do a Tracker tariff, by releasing a new tariff every few days.

    I was joking that EDF were effectively providing a quasi-tracker product by changing their no-exit fix rate every few days, but it seems that way.

    v4 now 6.09p per kWh

    EDF now up to v8 of this tariff. The rate went up over the last few changes, but now below the version I signed up for, and is at 5.85p/kWh, so i've just signed uf that (via TopCashBack for hopefully £25, thanks Ayr_Rage)

    v9 available today - 5.52p/kWh, so did another TopCashBack switch.

    Even if I don't get the £25 cashback, the drop in tariff alone is saving me over £50/year.

    (yes, I know I'm probably just talking to myself on this thread :))

    @MeteredOut, still following!

    I'm going to hang in for the 3 months for the cashback and then see what's available.

    Just wondering whether TCB and EDF will allow another £50 switch at that point, if the rates suit of course.
