With Southern Electric. This is just for Electric only.

Unit Rate 11.52p
Standing Charge 13.720p

1925 Units = £221.76
Staning Charge £11.93 (87 days)
DD discount -£8.87
Total before VAT 224.82
Total inc Vat £236.06

Now I do a comparison and get EON as top of the list.


Both EON.

No Standing Chrage.

23.489p for the first 225 kWh per quarter, and 10.007p thereafter

Standing Charge.
33.14p per day (£120.95 per year) 10.007p

    So where's the lack of benefit you can not see?

    The E-on tariff quoted would cost anything between £178 and £190, depending on discount. Even if that's the VAT excluded price, it would be under £200.

    So that's at least £144, could be £232, cheaper per year.

    :confused:
