Hi all,
I know there is another Energy thread going on but I was wondering how much people are paying in KWH and standing charges? here is ours;
Gas - 34.71p per day standing charge
3.73p kwh

Elec.
32.14 per day standing charge
16.98p per KWH

This is with SSE
 
Mine:
Electricity: 9.14p night and 15.68p day with 18.18p/day standing charge
Gas: 2.74p with 16p/day standing charge

Octopus Energy via uSwitch change. Tariffs:
  • Electricity: uSwitch Exclusive Octopus 12M Fixed June 2019 v3
  • Gas: uSwitch Exclusive Octopus 12M Fixed June 2019 v3
I change supplier or tariff every couple of years as necessary, which has kept my annual bill almost static for the last 12 years
But then I worked on the systems for billing and change of supplier for a number of years, so I know how easy it can be.
 
The rates vary across the country. It's not really comparable......

I'm with Bulb, who use 100% renewable electricity, I can highly recommend Bulb as well as Tonik Energy.
If you want to switch to Bulb, worth going through my referral link so we both get £50 credit: https://join.bulb.co.uk/?referral=wuyanx3253

I'm on variable tariff, economy 7, situated in North London.
-- Electricity:
Night: 7.6p /kWh
Day: 15.94p /kWh
Standing charge: 20.44p per day
-- Gas:
3.37p /kWh
Standing charge: 20.44p per day

I have solar panels to offset daytime electricity, EV to use night time electricity. For example, May through July, daytime I only used 170 kWh whereas I used 700 kWh during off-peak E7 hours (actual meter reading). So although daytime rate looks slightly expensive, I use so little it doesn't matter as much as having lowest night time rate, sub-8p night time rate gives me a hair over 2p per mile fuel cost in the EV.
 
Yours seem high. I switch around a fair amount and BG were the cheapest quite recently.

Electric
14.5p per kwh
17.5p standing charge

Gas
2.8p per kwh
17.5p standing charge

British Gas

14.41p pre Kwh
9p a day standing charge
monthly direct debit based on supplied usage

have a look at E.on Fix Online Exclusive v10 it's the cheapest i could find when searching for my friend
considering switching electricity to that tariff myself i'm with EDF dual fuel at the moment the gas price is ok but the electricity tariff isn't the cheapest by far
