Cheapest deal
I only use electric and when I choose an energy provider I look at the TCR (Tariff Comparison Rate). By law every provider must show this figure and this gives the cost of one Kilowatt of electric with all additional charges incorporated. The monetary figures then become academic. Simple. Martin.
