Any of the comparison sites will tell you the unit price, just click on tariff details or similar.

... and what's more they tell you the overall cost of each tariff as in most cases the unit price is only part of the story.

Which begs the question, why are you interested in knowing the unit price in isolation?

Hi Rudby72 - There are many factors that will affect the total cost of your utility bills - How much Gas & Electric you actually use can affect the Unit Price you pay, as will discounts that will apply to the way you manage your account

To get realistic idea of cost, you have to do your homework and add up how many Kw of Gas and/or Elect you have used over a full year, then use these totals on the Switch sites to get figures on what the annual cost will be from the various suppliers.

DO NOT be swayed by quoted monthly Direct Debit amounts that look cheap - always look at your annual cost, and divide it by 12 to see what your monthly payment should be.
Best of Luck
