Energy switching

Hundreds of thousands of Sainsbury's Energy customers have been moved to British Gas – if you've been transferred, check NOW if you can save £300+/year by switching to a new tariff. 

The energy price cap will rise by 10% in April, regulator Ofgem has revealed – but it's NOT the maximum anyone will pay, warns Martin Lewis.

Ofgem has ordered Utility Warehouse to pay £1.5m after the company failed to support customers who were struggling with their bills, which the energy regulator said left them "disadvantaged". 

Sainsbury's has today relaunched its energy offering, after partnering with big six firm Npower.

Ten million people are being wrongly advised by the Government to switch their energy tariff at a time when a crisis in the energy market means it would cost them hundreds of pounds to do so, MoneySavingExpert.com can reveal.

Former customers of failed supplier Green Network Energy (GNE) will be moved onto EDF’s pricey standard variable tariff (SVT) from October, with the cheap tariffs they were initially switched to set to end. If you were on one of these deals, switch now or you could end up overpaying.  

Customers of the gas and electricity provider Extra Energy, which stopped trading last week, are being transferred to Scottish Power.

Hundreds of Together Energy customers have been sent their final bills containing an incorrect early-contract termination fee of £40, MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) can reveal. Check your statement now to see if you’ve been wrongly charged.
