Shocking Gas and Electric costs

[newstewart]

Don’t know if I’ve missed something but we’re at end of our annual contract and for us to renew with them is an additional £100 per month. Not aware as why energy prices were drastically higher this year.
So if I stay with them another year it’s £211 per month or if I switch to variable it’s £125 per month.
Always thought that variable was the most expensive tariff to be on and to avoid. Looks like I’ll have to give it a shot
Checked with uswitch and showing much the same.
