Sainsbury's Energy offers some of the most competitive energy tariffs in the market, and has done so fairly consistently. That is because British Gas, who operates the Sainsbury's Energy brand, uses it to acquire new customers. What this means is that tariffs sold under the Sainsbury's Energy brand can be significantly cheaper than British Gas branded tariffs. And when we say significant we really mean it - Sainsbury's Energy tariffs have often undercut those of British Gas by £200 or more on an average dual fuel energy bill.
