The main problem is that right now, all the suppliers are in a state of change, Powergen being the 6th to raise it's prices. The others will have to follow suit soon.


I'd advise waiting before switching, as the process can take 6-8 weeks, during which time your chosen new provider will increase prices, then you might be worse off :-(

Personally, I've asked Powergen for their new unit prices. I'll take meter readings on the 9th March, and submit them to Powergen (then they can't sting me based on estimated usage etc). I will then review all the providers based on my past year's actual usage of gas and electric.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks for that.

Does anyone know of a list of suppliers that shows whether or not they
have yet raised ther prices?

From Powergen/Eon's own web page...
