But we all know they are slow to tell you if even they could give *you* a
better deal. So their priority is to make the largest possible profit.

They are required to now by the regulator. Their priority is to survive.


A hollow requirement

Could you pay less?

We estimate your annual cost for the next 12 months as:

Gas £xxx
Electricity £yyy

These prices include standing charges, unit rates and VAT.
Remember €“ it may be worth thinking about switching your tariff or supplier
A previous supplier used the industry formula to advise of a cheaper tariff
Their alternative tariff cost for a year compared with the time left on
your current contract (say, 6 months )plus 6 months on on the standard
variable rate. This usually meant that the more expensive new tariff was
classified as cheaper.
