I've been Money Tipped!
The online search ones seem difficult to understand.

I have a flatmate, all electric for hot water, etc, right now we spend about 50 units a week, sometimes 40, and in cold weather 60, but over summer 50 units, this includes 1-2 uses of washing machine a week, 7-8 showers a week(not each lol) me with PC on in my bedroom a lot, him with a laptop, and cooking with oven most days, and a router, and some PC speakers.

Thats about it

Whats cheapest deal for me, as Scottish Power are my current company, anad im on online standard, so I get charged 10.5p a unit and 15p a day standing charge, then VAT.

Just as when I had prepayment metres at my last 3 or 4 flats I paid FAR less than I do now, despite using less here(except shower now electric) due to the TV and PC being in same room before so I used both at same time, my bill was £4 in summer last year and £6-£8 for winter with heating on almost every day, only difference was gas heating for water and radiators.

But here I have never used electric heating once as its too expensive.

    Depends on where you live and how you pay. Simply put your postcode into search site with annual consumption of say, 2600 units and see what pops up. Then go to the cheapest utility sites to confirm their unit prices are what you like best for your situation.

    I would suggest BG Click Energy 2, and Ebico for starters. The latter is good for low users and has simple useage charges, ie only one charge per KwHr, plus are expected to reduce price in September. If you lived where I did, you would save £120ish a year, assuming you were on Scotish Power's standard tariff, and paying quarterly.
