MSE Big Winter Energy Switch

So here are my initial thoughts...

GNE (fixed 12 months) is coming out the joint cheapest dual fuel tariff for me (its only available as dual fuel)
But Tonik offer the same price (by a fluke, the unit costs are slightly higher, but they offer £40 dual fuel discount per year compared to just £15 from GNE), No cashback, but no £50 early exit fees either.
And the Tonik deal is fixed for 19 months, rather than just 12
(and they can be beaten by using separate suppliers)

Eon (fixed 24 months) is about 7% more expensive than GNE

Bulb - about same price as Eon, and its variable so could go up at any time.
- Note: although I asked CEC for prices excluding cashback, it still discounts this particular offering anyway! :mad:
(presumably reflecting the £25 account credit when switched via MSE, rather than the £25 cashback MSE will pay when switching via MSE)
- so I've manually added the extra £25 back on in this comparison

EDF (fixed until Jun 2020) is about 12.5% more expensive than GNE, but may be good for those on E7 who use a high percentage of low rate electricity as they have a low priced low rate (5.838p/kWh Eastern Region).

The above is based on our own usage and Eastern supply region - you need to do your own comparison. Note that the cheapest electricity supplier (for most) that Energylinx/Citizens Advice show is not included at all on the MSE site.

None of the tariffs MSE are promoting are for gas only.

Ah yes, that would appear to be another low cost offering conveniently omitted from the MSE CEC? :cool:

Since when has BULB who only offer a single tariff been a MSE CEC special offer?

And the CEC cash back offer is worse than using a normal referral code.

I am on EDF Easy Online Exclusive Sep 19 v2 and was looking at the new 2020 fixed rate. It looks cheaper would save £196 yr but would have to pay £70 exit fee.
My question is that looking at my Energy account the new fix for 2020 has a grey box that states Switch in Progress. I have not done a switch to that one. I only saw it in the newsletter today.

Any ideas why it is showing that status.
Thanks

Perhaps no exit fee if its an internal switch?
