Energy Suppliers Tinkering With Tariffs

Extra Saver is E.On'ss no-frills online tariff and the new prices mean that it now offers the best tariff in two of the UK'ss 14 regions (see table below). Gareth Kloet, head of energy comparison (http://www.confused.com/gas-electricity) at Confused.com comments:

In recent months we have seen a few gas and electricity (http://www.confused.com/gas-electricity) suppliers tinkering with their tariffs; which is great as it has meant a challenge to British Gas'ss domination of the best-buy tables.However, whilst this latest reduction is welcome, it'ss just one tariff, not across the board changes. As a result, those customers who don'st shop around for the best tariff to meet their needs are in danger of being left high and dry, continuing to pay well over the odds for their energy.

Confused.com urges consumers to look beyond publicised best-buy tables; they are useful indicators for typical energy customers, but there are millions of households that do not fall into the industry-defined 'saverage's consumption category. There is a perception that switching energy (http://www.confused.com/gas-electricity) providers and/or tariffs is difficult and time consuming, but as long as consumers know either how much they currently pay or their energy consumption - both of which are listed on customers's bills - they could make considerable savings on their energy costs, in just a few clicks.
