Best Supplier for high electric User?

Options
As the title says really, currently with Ovo Energy but we use a lot of electric and I find it a little expensive. What's the best way to find a supplier?

  • Pop your usage stats into a price comparison site, and go from there. OVO online portal will tell you exactly how many KWh's you've used in the last 12 months.

    go to a comparison website like www.energyhelpline.com or the MSE site and enter your consumption details in kWh.


    it is important you use kWh and not money outgoings.

    Generally if you are a high user then a slightly higher standing charge and lower unit cost is best but you really need to use one or more of the comparison sites to check where the break point is.

    The only way to do it properly is to use your annual kwh consumption and compare the the prices that you'll pay, not the the savings. Do your own sums to check.
    Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers

    Please define 'a lot'. No one can help you without knowing your annual kWh usage and region. Otherwise use any comp site as above. There is no universal best or cheapest, it depends on your usage and region.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
