Looking quite attractive when compared to the predictions of of 40 or 50% price rises in October. We dont use a lot of gas in a summer , and the solar & Battery's will keep the electric bills down for the rest of summer. We are only running a bill of around £40 per month at the moment , and £23 of that is standing charges , so with £18 of actual fuel, a 22% increase in unit costs will add around £4 per month until july , gamble is that I will be better off next winter if the unit rate is increased by more than 22%
Having said that Im still expecting the gas to be around £200 a month in the winter months , Might be going to Weatherspoons and making that refillable coffee last all day to keep the heating bills down
I'll have to keep an eye on EDF's website.
I was moved to EDF when Utility Point went under, and as of today, their 1 year and their 2 year fixed tariffs are 41% dearer than their default capped rate for me.
Add a £200 exit fee into the mix and it all seems a bit too dear.
But I see it has changed a little in the last few days. The standing charges are unchanged, but the unit price for electricity is a touch higher and the gas price price a little lower, which for me means the fixes are round 5% cheaper than they were. Another similar change might just tip the balance.
