Hi Sian,
Which company are these prices with? I've just gone with London Energy online (make sure its online tariff 4) and the electricy prices (INC VAT)are 8.12p for the first 900Kwh a year and then 6.17p for the rest so long as you are paying by direct debit. For gas its 2.678p for the first 5860Kwh per year and then 1.779p after that so I don't think 15p followed by 7.6p and 3.9p followed by 2.6p is all that competitive. It varies slightly by area but I still think all their prices are cheaper than that so its worth looking into. The best thing to do would be to go to energyhelpline.com and do a comparison there (try to find out your usage in Kwh as its more accurate.) Also make sure you use the link on martin's article about switching gas and electric to get £12.50 cashback. It would be a good idea to read tht article to get a head up too (link below) Good luck!
