I’ve just heard on Radio 5live that EDF are putting their electricity prices up by 2.6%

This seems a bit out of the blue, I wonder if they are the 1st in a trend?

2.6% isn’t a very big increase – although I guess that may depend on which of their tariffs you are on. You choose, out of this lot:

Annual fix version 1

Annual fix version 2

Annual fix version 2 (original)

Annual fix version 3

Annual fix version 3 (up until Jul 2010)

Annual fix version 4

Climate Balance

That’s just their electricity tariffs…

If you are with EDF and have been for more than 6 months, what are the chances that you are on their cheapest rate? And if you are on their cheapest rate, how long do you think that will remain the case? And, don’t think I’m picking on EDF, they are not the worst.

Wouldn’t you prefer to be with a provider who’s old customers are on the same tariff as the ones that join this week?

Contact me, I may be able to save you 2 things – money (obviously), and the headache of swapping provider every 6 months.
