kWh Price Comparison Table

NPower electric bills don't add up
Maybe it is just me, but I was looking back at my NPower statements last night and when I added up the "Charges' or total column the value on my calculator was different to that on the statement. An example :- Charges £103.51 + £39.53 + £96.54 + £16.55 + £7.44 + £1.12 + £9.65 = £274.34 and yet my 'total" charge is £285.54…

It now is asking for £28 a fortnight. Which he simply cannot afford. He did ring them and said he couldn't and he was in credit so why has it…

This is for the London area I've done a spreadsheet of the tariffs charged by 5 companies and have found that buying duel fuel is not the cheapest way. My results show that the cheapest for electricity is EDF's online account and for gas is Npower's online account. If anybody wants the spread sheet I can email it. It still…

Feeling the pinch of the price rises...
I recently signed up to the british gas price lock-in till 2011 - nice of them to only advertise price lock-ins *after* they'd put up the price by 33%, but still.... Haven't used the gas much since the price rise, as I wanted to remain as economical as possible with usage, to see if a much lower rate of use would equal…
