Well I have to really stay with edf, but I do rather feel that although
all the big companies deny it there is a cartel in operation. its strange
that the eventual quote based on past usage from most suppliers for me
shows that on my current supplier I save a meesly 45 quid.

Now I fully understand that they are all in effect buying the same
electricity, in my case, but it appears that all companies will give you a
bigger discount on Electricity if you buy gas as well but I have no gas.

No I think we are all being shafted here and I see no light at the end of
the tunnel until a scandal is unearthed.

There is no scandal to be unearthed.

Where are all the investigative journalists?

Mostly looking for a job now.

Having said about the discount the total estimated is nearly 100 quid more
than this last year in any case, no doubt to pay for smart meters and
fixing all the badly maintained infrastructure. After all they may have
devolved the companies into various silly named companies running the
grid, but they obviously charge the supplier for their work and we have no
sight of this amount and it can make one wonder if these companies have
the suppliers over a barrel.

It's certainly looking difficult to find any decent bargain fixed
tariffs, mine's up for renewal next month and the only cheap ones are
"no names".


I can recommend Bulb - a pretty reasonable variable tariff, decent
website for sending in readings and amazing customer service both by
phone and email. They managed to fix a long standing problem where leccy
and gas were on different postcodes! (I have a corner house). That used
to confuse the hell out of dual fuel signup websites.
