Table of Tariffs

I know there are comparison sites but is there a website that shows all the suppliers prices say in a table format?

I want to see for example a column of standing charges for each supplier so I can compare - not just trust the comparison site.

I suppose a bit like the petrolprices site.

I still feel there's no transparency with energy.

    I don't think so. It'd be huge because prices are different in each region, and difficult to keep up-to-date because tariffs are introduced and phased out fairly often (although I guess the recent ofgem changes will mitigate that somewhat).

    There still seems to be a lot of tariffs that are appearing for a short time and then evaporating and being replaced by a v2 or a slightly different name with a moved end date and subtly different standing charges and unit prices. They may only have four tariffs that you can change to at any one time but there are hundreds out there that are still in use but not available anymore and I can't see that changing soon.

    Commenting on nuunaa's post, you've only got to look at a single suppliers tariff chart to see the variations that they have across regions multiply that by the number of tariffs and then multiply that by the number of suppliers and you can see that it would be nigh on impossible to both compile and then understand a table of that complexity - I don't know though, have a look at a train timetable
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    Even if the six big suppliers listed only four tariffs you are still talking one hundred and seventy rows.
