Yes, its that exciting time of year again – the uSwitch gas and electricity suppliers survey results have been announced. This year uSwitch questioned 5,465 UK energy customers at the end of September – and found 41% of customers are unsatisfied with the “big six” energy suppliers compared with 33% in October last year. This rise can mainly be attributed to the signifcant rise in gas and electricity bills over the past few months. There is no excuse for poor customer service at any time.
Scottish and Southern Energy topped the best supplier survey for the fifth consecutive year. Here are the results:
- Scottish and Southern Energy
- EDF
- Scottish Power
- E.ON
- British Gas
- Npower

Ive had a bit of fun with the BBC Electricity Calculator over the past few days. It allows you to adjust sliders in order to calculate the energy mix required to reach the 381 bn kWh demand by 2020. It also calculates what the average electricity bill would be if your desired mix is implemented. There are some interesting results to be had. For example, if adjusting the mix to nuclear only – this would exceed demand but also require the construction of 45 nuclear reactors – no thankyou! Have fun!
After completing the calculator a few times – why not come back and fill in our fun energy poll!
