How far back our record goes

A tariff cannot show a change from before we were storing its prices, so a short list of entries can mean a short record rather than a price that held still. This is the first date we hold a price for each tariff in the log.

This log covers 5 November 2025 to 5 November 2026. A tariff recorded from a date inside that period has a shorter history here than the period suggests, and its earlier moves are missing from our record rather than from the tariff.

What this log does and does not record

It records changes to standing charges on every tariff, and to unit rates on flat and banded tariffs — the moves a supplier chooses to make.

It deliberately does not record the half-hourly moves on Agile or the daily ones on Tracker. Those are the tariff doing what it says it does rather than a decision to reprice, and each is already drawn as a chart on its own page. A tariff missing from this log is not a tariff whose prices held still.

It also cannot record a change from before we held that tariff’s prices. Our record starts on a different date for each tariff, and those dates are listed above.

Every entry is generated from the stored prices by a template. Nothing here is written commentary, and no entry implies a view on whether a change was justified.

Hi, I'm Rob, and I run Energy-Review.co.uk. I initially started this project in 2018 when I was looking to switch energy suppliers and found there wasn't a website that provided simple, data-backed reviews on all the suppliers available. Since then, I have spent a lot of time (too much, some may say!) looking at all publicly available data about each supplier and writing reviews using this information. These reviews are updated as regularly as possible, and any data is backed up by a source where necessary. I have also started writing guides on various energy-related topics, which hopefully you will find useful. If you find any issues, please use our contact form to let us know.
