What are nPower's Sign Online 21 gas charges?

Hi all,
this tariff has disappeared from price comparison websites over the weekend, and I cannot for the life of me find out what the primary and secondary unit charges are for Gas on this tariff. This is the only info I'm after, so if someone can help me that would be great.

Thanks,
Dan

Try here.. http://www.ukpower.co.uk/tools/smart_meter_calculator

If you lived in East Midlands it would be 6.592p and 2.614p ex VAT

Cheers for that, it showed them to be: PRIMARY: 6.673p/kWh, SECONDARY: 2.793p/kWh (ex VAT!)
So that is PRIMARY: 7.007p/kWh, SECONDARY: 2.933p/kWh

It may not interest anyone, but given nPower only charge 46 units at the primary rate over the summer (May-Sep), this tariff works out a lot cheaper than BG's Websaver 11.

I thought the go-to tariff after sign online 17 [namely Go Save] would only cost me an extra £3 over this period, with no tie-in - but see post below (#5)...

Yep...The best time to join Npower is March and the best time to leave is October. Then you'll have no winter use at high rates to pay it's mostly all at low summer usage.

Info Update!
I have found the following in nPower's Terms and Conditions:

"Does this seasonal weighting apply to all gas tariffs?
No, it doesn’t apply to Tracker, Fixed Price 2009, Sign Online 8, 14, 15, 16 & 17 Web 14, 15, 16 & 17, Go Fix, Go Fix XL, Go Save or Prepayment tariffs."

So it would seem that staying on Go Save Gas will not yield the benefits I first thought!

Hope this is helpful for others.
