    I've just ran a search as I'm approaching the end of my fixed price deal with Sainsbury's Energy and Places for People energy have come out cheapest. (Even cheaper than what it will have cost me for a full year with Sainsbury's)


    Has anyone used them,any experiences?


    Thanks in advance Tony.

    I was considering them myself (alongside GB and Ovo) but saw there's no feedback yet.

    Downside: Exit fees are £60 and they don't operate the Warm Home Discount.

    Thanks Hengus,I'm going to ring them and see what they are like.


    Just read the second link think I'll mention that and see what their take is.


    I rang them and spoke to an agent.


    The call was answered in less than 30 seconds which I found very reassuring,
    apparently they are a small company with approaching 1000 customers.


    They sound OK to me.


    I intend to wait a few days so as not to incur a penalty for early cancelation from Sainsbury's and I'll give them a go.

    The person I spoke to said that they had mistakenly applied for 2 Electricity licences instead of one so the extra one was simply revoked.

    I live in Lancs and know PfP brand, they carry out various enterprises and I have never heard any bad feedback about them. Actually company that I work for make business with PfP. I didn't check my gas and electricity rates for two Years now and was pleased to see that I can potentially shave off 1/3 of my bill.

    Switching from Spark Tenant Saver (Variable) to PfP Together - February 2017 - fixed 30 Online

    Current spend 1050, estimated after switch 750

    I'll give more feedback as my switch progress:rotfl:

    I'm also looking at People for Places as my potential supplier. They are promising me a saving which I cannot ignore - almost 14% saving on my existing direct debtit.
