It would be fun seeing BG ( no relation, honest) losing most of their customers.
I'm with the smug Scottish Power and have it fixed for the even smugger 2 more years..that ain't the point though.

Switching won't make a blind bit of difference because all the others will hike the prices sooner or later because they operate like a cartel. Competition between energy companies is a myth and Ofgem is a joke.

The simple fact is that energy prices across the board have doubled in the last 7 years regardless of which company you are with. There is no accountability on how much is cost and how much is profit. Also, due to short sightedness by politicians of all colours this country is unable to store gas, which means we have to pay top dollar at peak usage. You can add to this the stupid green policies of this current government that is stifling investment and paying a fortune to inefficient wind and solar power companies....people will die unnecessarily this winter and all the government can say is that they are 'disappointed'!

This is not right in a developed country!
