Electricity Only - Should I Switch?

Options
Hi there, just looking for some advice as am getting very confused by the information available.

I have a one bedroom (tiny) flat which uses Economy 7. Got the latest bill in from Scottish Hydro Electric yesterday and although not as scary as I thought it was going to be they are putting payments up slightly (£9 a month) from the start of September. I'm going to be £54 a month then.

I realise I have probably missed the boat with capped tariffs but wasn't sure if it would be worth it for 'just' electricity but I'm guessing there are cheaper suppliers out there and I should be switching anyway? I've looked at energyhelpline but there are just so many details on there about the tariffs that it's confusing me somewhat.

Thanks for reading and for any advice given!

    That works out at £648 per annum, assuming that your monthly payments actually cover you usage, compared to the average total energy bill of around £1000, before the latest round of price increases. Just check that you are getting the best prices for your area and usage.
