    Until you post your accurate annual consumption, all is speculation, since it's clearly not 55 kWh per day if you are spending £300 per month on current consumption.

    i already provided this info:

    Im with EDF energy - on an online saver 7. Last statement averaged 63.13 kWh per day and that was on actual meter readings. That gave me a bill of £295.99. The account isnt in arrears, we do manage to pay the bill every month, just about!!

    You didn't , you said 55 kWh per day (not 63kWh), but you didn't say what period that was measured over. You cannot just measure over a summer month quarter and multiply by four or twelve, because (with all-electric heating) your winter consumption will be massively higher, probably by 3 or 400%.
    A usage of 63kWh per day (1,957kWh pm) cannot possibly produce a bill of £295. It would be around £200. Please post the figures, and state if estimates or actuals.
    Until you work out or obtain your annual consumption you will not resolve this.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
