British Gas MSE Collective Nov26

This tariff is due to end next month and I was wondering whether MSE is negotiating with any suppliers to do another "collective" or if we need to make our own arrangements? Can't seem to find anything when I search so thought I'd check here in case I've missed something before going it alone.

    Hi

    I think this is a good question, I'm also on British Gas MSE Collective Nov26, as will a lot of MSE Newsletter followers. I've been holding onto this tariff as there's still an exit fee (as well as an obviously good rate), but this will be ending on the 9th December (with penalty free exit available from around 21st October). The obvious problem is that the best deals have thinned out in recent weeks, and it's knowing when to jump ship. I'm hoping that the MSE team will arrange another collective as well.

    Switch together formerly ( Big Community Switch,) powered by ichoosr, have just won a collective for British Gas.

    You have to apply by the 6th November but I don't know if its still possible to register or obtain this tariff.

    Possibly check your local Council area?

    If it's too late for this collective, just register for the next 'auction'. I would imagine there will be another before January and it's always British Gas who wins, but don't quote me.

    You may find MSE has one, now. 😊

    Under Ofgem rules, you can leave your fixed-term energy contract penalty-free during the final 49 calendar days of your agreement

    If your risk adverse move now. I don't believe we we get any good deals like last year, unless there's peace in the middle east and beyond.

    Nothing worth moving to though, fixed look to be the price of the rates in January anyway.

    I wonder if this British gas fix and fall tariff is worth considering
