The thing is, it looks a large increase but that's only because it was significantly lower than everyone else. It's about average.

With the new unit rates, Pureplanet is going to cost me an additional £10 a month for my Gas and Electric.
It is based on actual usage for the 2016 or 2017 year. It's been very accurate for the past year with Breeze before I switched to OF.
The BG one comes with smart meters.

Fair enough, it's just annoying it's gone up twice since I've been with them. I just had a look at British Gas and they are nearly 18p for electric so I guess I will have to suck it up!
14p on the one I've just switched to.
about MSE, a relation remarked this article
The popular Money Saving Expert website, founded and fronted by Martin Lewis, has been taking commission payments for recommending Holidaysafe for six years, despite overwhelmingly negative feedback from his readers.
their forums threads occassionally appear in my google energy searches .. but otherwise have never really used them, or evaluated any biasses.

On the energy side, without going back to the emails/the site I'm sure he's been quite clear that they get a kick back from the energy companies who he lists.
We moved into current new build at the end of October and setup both electric and gas with Spark Energy; who I've now discovered are going into administration. Ofgem advice isn't very helpful as it all relates to existing customers switching away from them but not for anyone switching to them... Guess I'll have to have a look around suppliers again!

You're being moved to OVO Energy, you'll probably have to wait for that to complete before you can move again.

I guess you're maybe in limbo somewhere.

The whole Spark (and others), is why I tend to switch between the big providers.

outfox the market has had like 4 price increases in the past 6 months there is one due to his december then another in january. they are also introducing standing charges. i wish i had fixed now with all these increases so i just did. fixed for 12 months with toto energy who were deemed the cheapest.
I am quite confused by my EDF statement.
It calculated I used 2000kWh per annum Electric, and 18000kWh Gas.
The thing is, my calculations are 2000kWh Electric, but 6800kWh Gas. We had a smart meter fitted May-time, so clearly that has messed everything up. They are now quoting me against this mythical 18000kWh figure for gas.
Currently on Online Jan 19 (paying around 12.6p Electric and 2.4p Gas) so the next change is going to really hurt as all costs have risen.

Octopus are about to jack their prices big time, Scottish power had a cheaper fix in the last few weeks.

Any opinions on https://peoplesenergy.co.uk/ ?
How did you calculate your gas 6800kwh a year is fairly low. We only have heating and hot water on had and that's about 10,000 - 12,000kwh a year.

Yeah after my experience with Economy Energy I'd be very wary of these smaller companies again.
