each energy company name, their price per unit for gas and t heir price per unity for electricity?

Kind of like a very easy comparison tool?

thanks

    Do any of them have only one set price per unit now.
    'Cos you hear them saying to check you're on the lowest tariff, does that mean unit prices are less the more you use.

    Each supplier has several tariffs, as well as those for different meter types, plus for each of those there is often a different unit price for each region of the country. You also have to consider standing charges, and whether it's cheaper for you to go for a lower SC (or no SC) and higher unit price, or higher standing charge and lower unit price, will depend on the amount you use.......therefore all things considered (and the fact that new tariffs come out quite often), it's technically easier to use a comparison site, that calculates everything tailer-made to you, than a massive chart.

    There are these sites, approved comparison sites, they require only three pieces of data - your postcode, and your annual usage of each fuel in kWhs. That'll give you a better idea.

    The trouble with your proposed table is that you somehow have to in your head multiply 23.445 by 365 by 1.05 and add this to x,000 times 12.234 plus yz,000 times 4.234 times 1.05 then do this another dozen times and retain all that info.

    Or use a comparison site.

    (Ofgem have introduced the tariff comparison rate - that divides the unit cost and standing charge by usage to give a representative figure per kWh - but sites will only publish that for three fixed usages so are likely to be of little use unless you are very near one of those medians.)
