Confused.com comments on table-topping new energy tariff from First Utility

Small player makes surprise bid to halt energy customers’ winter of discontent

Lisa Greenfield, energy analyst at Confused.com, says: “Small company First Utility’s brand new iSave v5 has bucked the trend of the major suppliers who have been quietly withdrawing their best deals over the past few months, and released a tariff that is a best buy across all regions.

This is finally a glimmer of hope for energy customers who have heard stark predictions of escalating costs and threats by the government to cut winter fuel payments. Another bonus of this new tariff is that there is no exit penalty so customers are free to go elsewhere if a better deal comes along.

Shopping around for the best deal is the only way to combat rising energy bills. For those who prefer to know what they are going to be paying, good value fixed rates are fast becoming extinct but there are a still a few out there worth grabbing. It is important customers don’t suffer high prices in silence and ensure they are on the best deal for their circumstances. “
