Current domestic gas / electricity contract is ending whilst EL Club is being set up. #23

My current fixed gas and electricity contract finishes soon and I need to set up a new contract rather urgently or I may be stuck on the variable rate which is not good. Could I switch to a standard Coop Energy tariff of their choosing now then transfer to the EL Club tariff at a later date once it is known and the club established? Or simply set up a new one year contract now and join the club later?

It might be best to switch to the cheapest tariff on Cooperative Energy. They will waiver an exit charge when transferring to Energy Local.

We've had a very similar question from residents on Osney Island in Oxford. Very keen residents willing to help with recruitment asking: is there any benefit in them switching to Co-op Energy on one of their standard tariffs before the club is ready to test the basic switching process - so they can reassure households joining later that its not very complicated. Is there any benefit to this?
