Not necessarily. Did a comparison a few months or so ago, and a lot of those ones were the best priced.

But yes all these small ones are (EDIT Aren't!) going to survive are they as I'm guessing they just buy energy for the near future whereas the big ones buy at advanced prices? (Is that how it works?)

I think you're right, it's all down to cash, the big boys have enough to buy bulk in advance, leaving the smaller companies at the mercy of times like these.

I checked tarifs just before this kicked off and was getting quoted about £1,200/yr for a fixed dual fuel. They've gone up to over £2,400 in the last week. Bonkers. I'm staying on variable which is currently well less than half the price and hope things calm down a bit.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

It's not just the money, it's the sh1t customer (dis)service of the 'big 6' (7 for me asd I include Ovo, who I was unhappily with for several years, in that. They connected day & night units the wrong way round, gave incorrect info re Economy 10 timings, refused to listen, & when they were finally forced to, took 2 years to sort it out. Not to mention hugely bumping up many people's DDs without even telling them.

Northern Energy also had multiple pages of literally thousands of angry, frustrated customers on the money-saving-expert forum last time I looked - I'd been with both them & Scottish Power before, and was nearly as unhappy with both their CSs as with Ovo.

Green were wonderful for CS - pick up a phone, and an actual human being answered very quickly. No loops, no menus, no 'holds', all very competent & helpful. I'm gonna miss them, and feel sorry for their staff, all of whom I found excellent.

Cash, credit-worthiness and even just access to the products that would minimise risk in an environment like this all underlying causes.

Some badly run companies will go to the wall in this period, but it is worth saying that some of them are defenseless against the sort of prices that have occurred this month.

As I understand it the bigger/more reputable companies 'hedge' so they are insulated from price fluctuations. Some of the smaller players gambled and sold schemes at a level that were never going to be viable if prices went up.
