Hi

I'm looking to move into a rented flat soon but it has a prepayment meter for electricity. Can anyone tell me how much on average this will cost per month in the Leigh area, for one person in a small one bed flat? I don't know who the supplier is yet!

Thanks :)

    Impossible to advise without knowing how the property is heated and hot-watered, also whether it has E7 or not (night storage heaters and an immersion heater).
    All-electric heating is much more expensive than gas CH and DHW (about 300% more per kWh on single rate), and non-E7 is the most expensive of all.
    A PPM is not the issue-that costs the same as the supplier's Standard credit tariff. And the supplier is yours to choose.
