CHEAP ENERGY SUPPLIERS

Good Afternoon everyone. My energy supplier has ceased trading (Green Energy Network). We had no notice only watching Martin Lewis show Monday did I find out.
Ofgem has found a new supplier to move clients to for their energy (EDF).
My previous experience with EDF was expensive and not good with customer skills or care.
I would like advice from scope members on a good supplier and cost effective for someone housebound.

Octopus energy are good. It will depend on your location and circumstances though, so best to check a couple of comparison sites.

We only buy electric as we are off grid for gas and recently changed for SSE to Eon, we were paying 21p per day standing charge plus 21p per unit, now we are paying 14.5p per day and 14.9p per unit, but as above the best advice is shop around.
Be extra nice to new members. -
@woodbine,@ charlie79, I was with a 3year deal with Isupply for Gas, paying 3.404 per KWH and 12.294p standing charge per day. I was moved to,EDF who kept the same deal till end of the 3 year term. As woodbine say shop around surprisingly what deals are about.

Avoid British Gas, back when the Housing used to pay all their tenants' Utility bills like Gas, Lecky and the phone bill, they'd often go months and not pay up, and then one day I got a letter off BG saying they were going to force their way into my property and take goods to the value of what was owed! Naturally Dad went barmy and threatened to report them to the BBC and the local paper.
A few years ago they put all the tenants on E-On and I now pay my own bills by direct debit, much cheaper.

Thankyou I was going to avoid British gas anyway. Not a big fan myself from past experience years ago. Think my faith has been put in Octopus. I think I have lost WHD for this year as Green Energy Network haven't applied it to account.

Min e wasnt with housing. Im now 41 yrs old. My metre was dodgy and received an unrealistic bill from them in my 20s. They wouldn't investigate and took a lot of hard work. It put me off British Gas for rest of my life.

I definitely think Octopus is the choice i feel most comfortable with to provide my energy.
