N-Power Online 20 tariff

Hi,

Just need someone to confirm my thoughts....spent all afternoon trying to find a decent (?) tariff as my Online 20 ends Dec 31st.

I see that N-Power has a tariff calledOnline 24 which shows that I will spend £428 annually for electric on this tariff, however it also shows a Standing Charge of £133.01 pa. I take it that this is charged over and above the actual useage.

Just need to know what the total figure would be for 2012 if I went with this tariff as from Jan 1st....that's if it isn't withdrawn before then of course!

So is it £428 or £561.....I know it is obvious but just need someone to confirm it.

Thanks.

    If you use an accredited comp site it will clearly show you the annual total including any SC's/discounts etc.
    Absolutely no need to spend all afternoon comparing sites-it's 5 minutes work.

    Hi Macman,

    I used the USwitch site....

    It says for the Online24 tariff it has a SC of £133.01

    It says that my electric useage will be £410 for 3243Kwh....that was the figure I used in the last 12 months. So does the 410 include the 133? or is that added on, if it is then I will be better off going onto N-Power's "Go Save" tariff which although has a higher Kwh rate I won't have already paid
    a SC and therefore only paying for what I am using.
    That's as far as I can see anyhow.

    The £410 includes the £133 standing charge and also includes a £42 annual discount and it includes VAT at 5%. As you are already with Npower your anniversary date is the date you joined so the £42 will be credited at that date rather than in 12 months.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Thanks for that HappyMJ.

    It wouldn't have taken much for it to have been put as clear as that on N-Powers site and U Switch too.

    I shall also transfer from SOL20 to SOL24, unless anyone has a better idea?
