Where can you find energy tariff prices

Everything I click on the internet it tells me to compare but I would llike to do this manually rather than choose the tariff name?

Any ideas if there is a regulator website or something?

    They don't make it easy, but if you call the companies individually. then their sales reps can hardly refuse to to tell you their prices.

    Agree - Finding detailed tariff prices on most suppliers websites is a real pain.

    My solution is to use the 'switchwithwhich' website. When you get through to the usual final page that lists the price of all the suppliers, on each Co's entry there is a 'Compare Tariiff' icon - Hit this and comes up with the very fine detail of that tariff, right alongside that of your present supplier

    Armed with this I am faced with searching only one suppliers website for confirmation of what 'switchwithwhich' have told me

    You cannot compare actual annual costs manually, as there are many variables other than kWh unit costs (DD discounts, annual discounts, cashbacks, standing charges, tiers, etc).
    Why bother, when the comp sites have already done all the number crunching for you?
    If you must, you need to go to each supplier's site in turn to obtain the figures...and then build a very complex spreadsheeet.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    All the comparison sites I have used list all the details of all the tariffs they include, and hence how they calculate the annual cost.

    Once you have decided on the preferred supplier/tariff, it's worth double checking the details on the suppliers own website.

    Use their site to request a quote, then click on "full quote details" of the tariff that interests you.

    You are making life difficult for yourself. Use one of the comparison sites as suggested and it will do more than you want in seconds. It will give you all the suppliers available to you, their tariffs listed in price order and all of the unit prices and discounts for those tariffs including your current tariff. You need only look at the NPower ones if you wish. You do not get them all together on one page anymore.
