No Standing Charge Tariffs ?

macman

'Low user' by what definition? What is your annual kWh consumption?
For all but very low users, the annual difference is usually down to pence.

I am also after a no standing charge tariff ...so will try those mentioned... I am a low user £12 per year and pay by direct debit........ work it out and you will see why I would like to carry on using NSC :-)

Hmmm ... First post in 6 months and only second post in 6 years. What other user ids do you post under on MSE I wonder? :cool:

Also your post 6 months ago claimed the energy account you refer to has an annual usage of 22 kWh per year

So I've no idea how or why you are paying £12 per year, paid monthly by DD, for that very small usage.

If you follow the advice given in this thread, and in that earlier one, i.e. use a comparison site, you will see various options starting at just £3 a year (based on the Midland supply region, but I doubt with that such small usage/cost it will vary much whatever region you are supplied in)

nPower comes top and Ebico also some in favourably.
Ignore UW because they have an annual membership fee which isn't great, but is compared to the £3 per year nPower would charge to supply.

But by using the comparison site I also find two other suppliers mentioned that give favourable results. i.e Utilita Standrad tariff (but you need to check this one as it is 2 tier pricing which Ofgem want to ban) and a new supplier called Green Energy (Tap tariff)

So as is advised here and in that thread 6 months ago, use a comparison site to find the best deal for you.

Surely you should just put your usage into a comparison website (in terms of kWh, not DD amount). The website will then show you which tariffs will cost you the least. They may be NSC tariffs, or they may have a standing charge but still work out cheaper because the unit cost is lower. The reason it's cheaper doesn't matter.

Why the interrogation?.... do comments like this help?..... anyway the reason for the need for a tariff with no standing charge is that I only use this amount of energy at a smallholding..and at the moment I use £12 of electric a year pay by direct debit and they give me £30 discount... there you go sorted
