Hi

Can anyone tell me if there is a site where I can compare the tariff prices for electricity. When I search all I get is these switching companies but I need the actual tariff prices. They don't really make them easy to find do they :confused:
I used to suffer from lack of motivation.... now I just can't be arsed.

    You can look on each suppliers website. Easier to accurately calculate your annual kwh and enter that into a comparison site. They will find the kwh for your area, apply standing charge or different tier rates, VAT and any duel fuel, DD, prompt payment discounts. Each supplier has several tariffs and the kwh costs vary regionally so it's possible but time consuming to do it yourself.

    When you have the results for your region and useage from a comparison site use a fancy mouse click to open each tariff's tariff in its own window.

    Can I ask why you are trying to comparing tariffs from every supplier?

    Surely what you want is a site that compares the end price you would ha=ve to pay? This is what the comparison sites do for you.

    Comparing unit prices is meaningless, as they are complicated by tiering, the level the tiering applies to and price adjustments/discounts you may be entitled to.

    As KimYeovil says, the comparison sites give you the details of the suppliers tariff, but they also do the calculation for you to inform you which will be cheapest :)
