EDF Nov 2016 vs NPower Mar 2017

re08149383

Hi,

I am a bit confused at the EDF and NPower deals.

On the face of it, EDF is much more expensive:

EDF vs NPower
Elec - 18.9p vs 15.53p
Elec s/c £56.54 vs £41.97

Gas - 4.649p vs 3.917p
Gas s/c £95.81 vs £162.50

On a usage of 4500 units on electric and 20000 units of gas, the cheap energy club and both the suppliers websites say £1,676 per year. Calculating this manually, Npower is correct, but EDF is over £1,900. What am I doing wrong?

Have you taken the discounts into account ?
Have you got the unit rates correct, 18.9p electric, that is the standing charge.

yes EDF come out More expensive than npower even tho EDF is shorter??

I,m looking at the npower 2017 fixed deal also,
and the Npower 2017 vs EDF 2016 is cheaper oddly than EDF considering its shorter (is it me or did npower get their tariff wrong, or were they just stealing the lime light from scotish power with the longest/cheapest fix) ?

Standing Charge
24.245 vs 18.900 pence per day

Primary Unit Rate
18.501 vs 19.910 pence per kWh

Night Rate
5.775 vs 7.220 pence per kWh

Thanks - yes I got the rate wrong - amateur mistake! And also did not take into account the 6% "discount" for monthly direct debit.

I've been looking at this too, but am steering away from NPower because of their shocking customer service/billing faffs/computer glitches that I see regularly on this forum.

I'm jumping ship to NPower Fixed until 2017, they can't be any worse than EDF for shocking customer service and very unfriendly language on their newly designed bills.
