Just got this email. They couldn't beat my current green tariff but maybe they can save you some money and help you to go renewable in the process?
It's a fixed rate for 12 months and you'll get £15 account credit to start with if you switch by the date
Switch and save.Hello,You registered with Big Clean Switch through our partnership with IKEA, so we wanted to let you know about a great new discount we've secured on clean energy.
The offer, which is only available through Big Clean Switch, is with So Energy, who are rated the UK's number one energy supplier for customer service by Citizens' Advice. Their 'So Owl' tariff is already our cheapest fixed rate offer (which means the price you pay per unit of electricity won't change for 12 months),
but anyone switching with us before 5pm on Monday 26 November will secure an additional £15 account credit.See how the tariff compares with your current supplier.Remember, Big Clean Switch isn't like other switching websites. We only list tariffs that source 100% of their electricity from renewables, and because we've vetted our suppliers, we make our users a simple promise: in the unlikely event you have a problem with your new supplier you can't resolve with them, we'll take it up on your behalf: Planet-friendly power, peace of mind included.
What about the price cap? Do I need to bother switching?
The government has announced it will limit the amount suppliers can charge from 1 January 2019. Although the price cap - set at £1,137 a year for an average home - will mean savings for many, a typical home will still save another £120 a year by switching to our cheapest clean tariffs - and that's without taking into account our exclusive account credit.*
If you have any questions about our exclusive tariff, renewable electricity, or energy in general, just reply to this email and we'll do our best to help.
Happy switching!
* Ofgem's price cap only applies to 'default' tariffs, often also referred to as 'standard variable tariffs'. It does not apply to fixed rate offers. A separate price cap already applies to prepayment meters. The £1,137 limit will be applied from 1 January 2019 and applies to a typical dual fuel home, as defined by Ofgem. The exact limit will vary depending on how much energy is used. So Energy's 'So Owl' tariff will cost a typical home on a dual fuel tariff £1,017 a year (price reflects average across all regions).
Note that when our website estimates how much you could save relative to your current tariff, it will use your supplier's current default tariff where applicable. That's because we don't yet know how suppliers will choose to price their default tariffs after the cap has come into force.
Pretty straight forward form to complete. A few questions, you'll need your postcode at a minimum and if you know your current supplier, the tariff and usage then you'll get an accurate comparison They take in to account for economy 7 users, so make sure you know the percentage of your day to night usage (

we just need the government to stop subsidising the dirty energy!
