I have managed to get a lower deal on an online comparison site that all of those quoted to me via the cheap energy club.
I did not expect that of MSE

    Hi caiti,

    Curious to know what usage figures you were using on our site compared to the other comparison site?

    To calculate the costs on the tariffs you see in the club, Cheap Energy Club takes the usage which you’ve entered on your account and works out (based on your tariff’s rates) how much this would cost you over a year and on average per month.

    We'll show the same tariffs that other price comparison sites would show so the prices (per units) won't be any different but if you've used usage figures (lower) the prices will 'appear' cheaper.

    Not necessarily.

    Perhaps the OP has found a collective tariff?

    Or perhaps they have found a supplier/tariff that MSE don't show. Been several posts recently on the energy board about suppliers/tariffs that MSE does not display.

    Here's a thread from earlier this year where someone tried to create a list of them
