Only used 6 units of Gas in June thanks to my iboost. The daily standing charge was 4 times as much as out unit usage!
Sadly the tariffs with low standing charges have rediculous unit rates!
We have only used 3 units infact its 2.63 to be exact.
We get our gas from Npower 2.999p per kWh and Standing charge is £25.33 per year about 7p a day.
Moved form OVO as we were paying 25.99p per day and 3.38 per kWh
Electric is 21.46 per day and 10.39 per kWh against 27.40p per day and 10.80p per kWh3.795 kWp Solar PV System. Capital of the Wolds0 -
No gas used since mid April and don't want to see that change until well into October. Saves me about 6kWh of gas per day as it is a long way from boiler to tank and pipes are not and cannot easily be lagged.0

I'm with F/U and only used 1 unit of gas which cost me £1.87 + £6.30 a month S/C:eek:
Tried all the tariffs with no S/C but, because of my.....or Mrs l's high winter usage, this

Lovely day today, just how I like it - bright start, clouding over late afternoon
We landed a 6.64 Maiden today, so good start overall to the month.
@Merlin - which tariff are you on with npower? Their current tariffs aren't anywhere near that?4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.0
